Sobriety is a gift that has been given to me. I don't take it for granted and I hold it very close. It's a miracle I'm alive today. The life I lived before was lonely, dark, and full of pain and misery.

Jesse's Story
I prayed many times for something to change. I dreamed of having a home, a family, kids, and a dog, but I never thought that any of my dreams would come true.
Slowly but surely, with much work with my sponsor, going to meetings, helping others, and praying to God.
The promises are coming true in my life today. All my dreams are becoming a reality. If we don't pick up today, we still have a chance.
Life does not come with a handbook nor does parenting, but we lean on our peers, keep showing up, and do the best we can for today.
