I wanted to give up. I was so tired of going through everything. I was so tired of grieving
0:19
because I had lost my only brother many years back, but I still live with that. I was dealing
0:25
with addiction and I felt like I was never going to get out of that. It was a very dark place
0:32
but because I had gotten tired of it and because I wanted better, not just for myself, but for my
0:41
now beautiful daughter that I have, along with my now sober husband, I wanted more for us
0:49
So I can get more if I gave up I can do better if I just stay in the same spot So my advice is just push yourself I know it hard I know the struggle is real But trust me when I say you gonna make it you gonna be okay you gonna it will
1:16
get better. It won't be, it won't be better overnight. It's not going to happen that quickly
1:21
You have to give yourself enough grace because you went from somebody who either had it all or at one point was not struggling as much as you are now to one trial after another
1:37
and that's okay. It's okay to take a break. It's okay to sit and cry. It's okay to
1:43
you know, scream, shout, whatever it is that makes you feel better, whatever it is that will
1:50
help you get to it in a positive way, do it, but don't sit there for long
1:58
Don't, don't stay stuck. You have to, you have to keep going
