Help Me Follow My Dream to Become a Drug & Alcohol Counselor

Hi, my name is Christine, and I’m sharing my story with a heart full of gratitude and hope.

For many years, I lived in addiction. I tried to get sober several times but couldn’t seem to make it last — until this year. It took me almost losing my life and losing my husband of 23 years to finally open my eyes to how precious life truly is.

Today, I’m 9 months clean and sober, and I thank God every day for another chance. My recovery has changed everything about how I see the world. I’ve learned that healing starts from within, and that what we believe, we create. Through manifesting, self-love, and positive thinking, I’ve found a strength in myself I never knew was there.

Now, my dream is to go back to school to become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. I want to help others find the same light I’ve found — to remind them that life is worth living before it’s too late. I want to teach people in recovery about the power of mindset, manifestation, and positivity — because recovery isn’t just about staying clean, it’s about truly learning to love and believe in yourself again.

I’m raising funds to cover tuition and books so I can start this next chapter of my life. I need to raise at least $200 per month to continue. Every little bit helps bring me one step closer to helping others heal, just like I have.

If you can’t donate, please share my story — that alone means more than you know. Thank you for believing in me and supporting this dream. Recovery is possible, and I’m living proof of that.
