- Alcohol
- Faith
- Mental Health
Nowadays I feel like I am walking in the sunlight of the spirit. It wasn’t always that way though. Years of struggling with mental illness, fear, uncertainty, and eventually alcoholism left me feeling dead, alone, and ready to quit life. It got to the point where I did not think I would ever make it back to life, much less be happy.
But that is what happened; I did come back to life and have it abundantly now. I no longer hide in fear and shame, no longer worry what others may think or say, and no longer let my life and decisions be made by an illness that I was once too scared to acknowledge.
In fact, these days I say that I no longer live with bipolar disorder and alcoholism; they now have to live with me. And as long as I work my programs of recovery, share my story, and strive to help others, my life just keeps getting better. I am blessed in so many ways and I thank you for reading my story.
