One of the scariest feelings in life is when you realize you aren’t afraid to die. You don’t look when you cross the road anymore. When you take pills you take however many come out. You’re not afraid when you hear those creepy creaking noises in your house anymore, because you hope they’ll get you. You seek out dangerous things, because you want to die. You stop caring about yourself, totally and completely. Nothing about you matters anymore, and at some point you look at yourself and become scared of yourself. Because you’re a monster, one who only hurts itself. And that’s scary.

One girl’s story of hope…
quote
Sometimes, I just want to scream at this fucking disease, the damn urges. At the fact that I will always have to fight. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live without addiction. Just, to live. But I know I wasn’t meant for simplicity. I was meant to fight, and scream, and bleed. Sometimes you have to live loud to be heard.

One of my biggest role models in my sobriety. Renee Yohe.
“People should know that their scars are their story board, that’s their platform to speak from, that’s their ministry. It doesn’t take a stage, it doesn’t take a t- shirt, and it doesn’t take a book- it’s just life. It’s just being available, being willing to be transparent and vulnerable with the people around you. That’s where your story gets to make a difference- where we get to rescue and be rescued, to love and learn to be loved”

Do not forget about yourself…
