12 years ago today, I gave up one thing, for everything 🙏
I had to get on my knees and ask Jesus for help. I had to fully surrender.
I wanted to do it for my kids Noah Gloede Austin Gloede , for my marriage but ultimately it had to be for myself.
Today, my life is magical! 💫
I’m healthy (mind, body & spirit) and I wouldn’t change a thing.
My relationship with my boys 💙💙is better than I could ask for. My support system is strong and I am eternally grateful.
Is my life perfect, absolutely not.
BUT, it’s a 1000 times better than when I was drinking.
Thank you to my brother Jeremy Ackley for giving me my chip today. I’m so grateful for our friendship and relationship. I love you so much and I’m so proud of you.
To everyone that reached out today and continues to cheer for me, thank you. I tried to do this life alone and it didn’t work. It was miserable.
Thank you to AA, my yoga community, my therapist x 2 🤪😬😁, my friends Michelle Waldron & Michelle Murray that literally saved me this last year & my family.
To those still struggling with addiction, know that recovery is possible.
I don’t know what my future will bring, but for today, I’m choosing not to drink.
