I have overcome addiction and I have been recovered for 5 years. I walked through the pits of hell and cleared my way through the ashes to become reborn and rebuilt in to a strong survivor! I have been abused, assaulted robbed and much much more, but I did not let my anguish and hardships bring me down. I used my weaknesses to build my strongest assets! The strength I carry is a gift from God, he gave me the strength of a Lion to overcome all of the struggles I have been through! Rising from the ashes was my greatest accomplishment and my worst day was my greatest lesson! I am not what I’ve been through, I am so much more than that. I am a woman who has was the storm and in the end I was the rainbow after the storm! I am courageous and brave and what I’ve been through has shaped me into the person I am today! I am a Lion and a Phoenix! Strong and reborn
