Finding Hope and Healing: Overcoming Addiction and Suicide with the Help of Faith!

Apr 30

1 min read




June30 2023 I was at the absolute lowest point of my life. Addiction had taken over, I was losing my family...I felt I had nothing left to live for. I tried to kill myself. A split second before my car hit the telephone pole at 55mph...I prayed to God. I had changed my mind...I didn't want to die. By His grace, love and mercy, I was saved.


I walked out of the hospital a few hours later with a concussion, whiplash and a broken hand. I was bruised all over. But God had spared me. He wasn't done with me yet! I fight the addiction on a daily basis...but each day He reminds me I have so much to live for.


My relationship with my family is being repaired. I'm able to watch my granddaughters grow each day. I'm able to be here for others...to share my story about addiction and a suicide attempt...only to show them that God has always been there. He didn't turn away from me...and when I reached out, I found his loving hand. It is my hope, through God, that I can reach others struggling.


That maybe I can give them even a glimmer of hope. I am honored to be allowed to share just one of the MANY things God has done in my life. I pray he will use me as a tool to help others.
