Description

What happened to us is not our fault. Being alcoholic is not our fault. Becoming addicted is not our fault. BUT-it is our responsibility to do what is necessary to not let those things take us over. 

We ask for the strength to change the things we can. And today, we’re talking about taking responsibility for those things. 

This week’s topic is inspired by the warstory from Mariah! Mariah grew up in a small town in a family full of alcoholism.  She was always uncomfortable in her skin until she found her happiness in beers and boys. Hear how she works today to love herself without outside validation. She takes responsibility for her actions and her recovery and does what she needs to to stay stopped.

Thank you Mariah for sharing your story!!
