In January 2014 I was a young mother with a newborn and newly out of rehab. I had been isolated for over a year which meant I didn't know where to turn. I knew I didn't want to continue in active addiction, and I also knew somewhere deep inside that would be my future if God didn't intervene. Thankfully, He did through Hope for Addiction and the woman who championed the cause, Liz Beck. Liz helped me feel comforted, assured, understood and loved. I remember feeling a sense of hope and a feeling that I was being guided in those early days. I just kept going to see her. I just kept connecting. Soon, I began attending Center Church where I felt even more of a sense of guidance and hope. The church family held and loved me, my daughter, and her father deeply. I was encouraged by the weekly recovery meetings where we discussed biblical principles that applied to our experiences in addiction and life. I found hope and connection in hearing other peoples' stories and in sharing mine. We all just needed a safe place to belong, and the Hope for Addiction meeting provided that. I began the slow trudge into my own story of redemption with Divine intervention.
