Beckie's Story: Rising Up From The Ashes

I’ve been a victim of sexual abuse and physical abuse. Along with addiction. I’m 39 years old. I was sexually assaulted when I was a child along with being raped in my tween years. I had been in active addiction from the age of 22-37 years old. I was on methadone for 2 years along with still using. I lost my younger brother a little over 3 years ago from a drug overdose.  I have lost all 3 of my children do to my addiction. For years I had wished that I was dead. I didn’t know how to change my life for the better. I have overcome things in my past along with my addiction. I have pstd along with anxiety and depression from all the abuse that I have been subjected to in my life.  I met my now husband and he helped me with realizing that I am worth it. I have been clean now since September 24th 2018. I’m now a Pharmacy Tech and a full time student. 

I actually found Beautiful Disaster on Facebook when I had an account.  I love all the collections but my favorite is the set with the Phoenix because I’ve risen up from the ashes and made a better life.
