Sobriety is about more than checking off boxes—it’s about finding your “why” and building a life worth living. In this heartfelt blog, I share my personal journey of discovering that doing things for the wrong reasons, like fulfilling legal obligations or meeting others’ expectations, can derail true recovery. I reflect on how shifting my mindset to embrace sobriety for myself, my loved ones, and my future made all the difference. Through stories of loss, lessons learned, and leaning on God, this post offers encouragement for anyone seeking freedom in sobriety and striving to find purpose in their recovery journey.
Finding Strength Through Faith in Times of Loss
Losing someone you love is never easy. When I lost my mom, Sally Manzer, to cancer, it left a void in my life that I still feel every day. But her unwavering faith, love, and resilience continue to guide me. In this blog, I share how leaning on God, honoring her legacy, and embracing gratitude have helped me navigate grief. Whether through prayer, journaling, or living out the values she taught me, I’ve found ways to move forward while keeping her memory alive. If you’re facing loss, I hope this inspires you to lean on your faith and cherish the love that remains.
Sobriety brings small, meaningful wins—like a shopping trip with my niece I couldn’t have imagined three years ago. Moments like these remind me of the power of faith, prayer, and staying the course.
