Stories through the Wilderness
Sobriety Prepared Me for This Moment
In one of the hardest waiting seasons of my life—waiting to learn if the lump in my breast is cancer—I’ve found an unexpected calm that can only be explained by grace. Seven years of sobriety have trained my heart to take life one day at a time, to surrender what I can’t control, and to trust the One who can. What once felt impossible—finding peace in uncertainty—has become proof of how God prepares us long before we know why. Sobriety didn’t just free me from addiction; it taught me how to wait with faith.

Our nation is hurting—and so are its people. In this post, I share how my own battle with addiction and trauma opened my eyes to a deeper truth: lasting healing must include faith. Mental health tools help us cope, but only God can restore what’s broken. Even in a divided world, hope still has a name—and His name is Jesus.
