Six years ago today, I sat alone in an empty house with no electricity, gas, or food. I was scared and ashamed. I literally didnt have a penny to my name. I hadnt seen my kids for months. My prepay cell phone had 7% battery and about 5 minutes left on it. I made the hardest call Ive ever made- to my parents- and I asked them for help- something Ive never been good at. It was the call they had been hoping for, for months. They were there in minutes and took me out of the darkness. Ive been clean ever since, something I never thought I could do. Today I needed to remember that day and how lost I was. I needed to say it, type it, share it. I needed it to be more than a distant memory to remind me that I never, ever have to go back there. Today I have a beautiful life and a happy home, filled with love and joy and laughter, and I am more grateful than words can express.
