The details that you recall (even though you were using) blows my mind because I was there (not using) and I don't even remember leaving you until now!! That was the night that I had officially given up on you and it killed me. What a blessing though to fully understand what you felt in that moment and how much you were impacted by it. I'm so proud of you for deciding that you never wanted to feel like that ever again. I love you ❤️
Thank you Erin! There are moments in life that are so pivotal, using or not that are just unforgettable. It was the final breaking of denial that I needed. You guys loving me enough to leave me was part of a series of events that led to my getting clean and I’m forever grateful. Thank you for not giving up on me. I love you!
I’m sitting here feeling your heart and pain as I read your powerful testimony. You have pulled me in with every single word. I was definitely ready for more. Thank you for being so honest, courageous and transparent. This blessed me. ♥️
Thank you so much Ioana! I feel such a kinship with you as my first Sister and supporter here on Substack. Sending you a big virtual hug, and thank you for being my cheerleader <3
Awww you’re so welcome my beautiful sister. I actually feel the same way. It’s a joy to watch you bloom here and I am honored to have been a part of your first experience here on Substack. And I am honored to be part of your welcome committee!
Dan, I am so glad that you are here today to speak your truth. I know that your testimony will help so many people. I am so grateful for our friendship. I love you!
I loved the testimony. It made me want to read more. I don't want to assume anything here but I hope that you learned to forgive your former self. Man, that's hard. I've been there myself. Letting God down was the worst. Erin's message was sweet. It's the grace we don't deserve but get it anyway. Love the raw, brutal truth out of your story. You're a fighter! 💪🏼
Hi John! Thank you for your support! At the time I was going through this I didn’t know God. I’m so grateful He didn’t give up on me though. My heart is to be open and vulnerable to hopefully inspire others to be too. We can talk about the mess. Life is messy. Erin is still one of my closest friends, and has had my back from day 1 since I made the decision to get clean. Grace is the only way we get to experience these miracles. Thank you Jesus!
I just posted the equivalent to my own epically raw mess and God's sequentially having to pick up the pieces. He uses broken things for great purposes, remember that! Your friend Erin sounds like a terrific friend Daniela. That's so awesome you guys stuck it out and stayed friends. I'm sure there's a lotta things you can still laugh about those messy moments. So glad to have found you here!
Hi John likewise! Yes, we have quite a bank of memories to look back on and laugh. I’m grateful for solid friendships, through all the blessings and hard seasons, the ride-or-dies are very special.

Thank you my friend! I love you always and for not giving up on me. Even when the truth hurt. It’s what I needed.
