Two Years Sober

Today, I’m two years sober. Two years ago, I was broken. Addiction had taken everything from me, including my children. I remember the pain of not being able to see them, and when I did, it was only for an hour or two in a park with supervision. I felt like I had lost everything that mattered. In that brokenness, I finally surrendered. I stopped trying to control what I couldn’t, and I gave it to God. I let go, and I let Him in and everything changed.

Today, I get to see my kids every single day. I wake them up for school in the morning, and I tuck them in every night. I get to show up for them — not just physically, but fully present and sober. That’s a gift I never take for granted. God has used me to help others take the step to get clean.

This life I have today isn’t because I’m strong — it’s because I gave up trying to do it alone. I surrendered, and God did the rest.
