This was a FB post I did for today. I am a Recovering addict 33 weeks 2 days pregnant with a beautiful baby girl. My post is about almost losing my life and how I am about to give life. Thank you for reading💘
My mom made a very good point yesterday. Even though I have bad day, good days, very bad days, and really good days-these feelings and moments are just temporary. It's hard to believe how far I have truly come. She said that she thought I was doing pretty awesome. I am going to be a mom in 6 weeks which is mind blowing and such a blessing in itself. In the same amount of time just 6 weeks, 2 years ago I overdosed and almost lost my life to my addiction. Instead of becoming a mother and my mom planning my baby shower she said she could be planting flowers at my grave, and that is so real and so true and the reality of the truth has set in. I may not be where I want to be in life but I also never saw my life the way it is today. I am going to be a mommy to a beautiful baby girl when I never thought I would ever get out of the hole I was in. Life is crazy and Gods plan is crazy. I am blessed and so grateful for what I have today and the fact I have truly come so damn far.

Thank you!!! @mrs.catlin I just keep thinking how crazy it would be to have her the same day I almost lost my life, which I just figured out was August 29. I'm having a hard time with this. It truly is crazy how my life has turned around. January 23, 2015 I found out I was pregnant 2 days before my birthday 10 days later I miscarried February 2 on my boyfriend's birthday-I got clean because I found out I was pregnant the first time. That was a blessing in disguise. Now I'm about to have a baby around the time I overdosed 2 years ago. God's plan for me is hard to wrap my head around. Sorry so long one of those days mixed with hormones

@valrocks, thank you! it truly is. Idk where I would be right now. My addiction had me wrapped around death so tightly. I thought I was doomed. It's crazy. I'm having one of those days-crying because of my near death and crying because I'm going to be a mommy for the first time.

Thank you ladies!! A lot of my support to push through has not only been from close family and friends but by sharing my story my experiences, struggles, accomplishes, and my journey through recovery and addiction with people like you all. Most of my FB stuff is like a journal of some kind, an update as to where I am in recovery, somewhere to vent whether it's read by others or not, some positive reinforcement for myself and whom ever reads it, and a place to ask for that strength to keep going in the right direction. Some of the best advise I've been given has been from complete strangers and people who can connect in one way or another. @mommyrai @mrs.catlin @msslimj24 @nygirl3rdbabymiami @valrocks

Congrats momma! I am glad you had a wake up call and changed your life around for your baby girl. Some of these deadbeat moms that do drugs/alcohol while pregnant can learn a lesson from you. Babies should not be born addicted to drugs it's so sad breaks my heart.

@vivalakats, even though the last 2 years getting into recovery and the years of active addiction have been H E L L it's made me a better person and appreciate the little things more. I'm glad I got all that out of my system before having children because my daughter will never have to deal with my precious bullshhht
