❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hi, my name is Catherine Daniels. And I'm an addict. Three months ago, I put myself in treatment. I was miserable and making my life horrible. I became selfish, hurt, and did a lot of damage to my family. I lost my mom last year, and honestly, I took it hard. Instead of being a good mom, wife, and daughter, I chose to be selfish and use. I was absent in my family's life. Like I said, I did a lot of damage. Fast forward to today. I am working on me and have come a long way, and yes, I still have a long road ahead. But today, I now love myself and forgive myself for my past mistakes. The people I hurt from my drug use, today I get to be present and work on being the best me I can be. I have learned a lot and have much more to learn. Anyways, I got myself into treatment. And after treatment, I realized if I wanted a strong recovery, I would have to change a lot of things. I graduated treatment and got myself into Oxford living, which is sober living. I got a house in Hazel Dell, Vancouver, Washington. Pay monthly rent of $650 To be honest, at first, I was scared. Small-town girl now living in the city, and all of it being new and meeting new people. I had to get out of my shell and speak up, do new things. On June 14th, I'll be coming up on 3 months clean. Moving and doing something new has helped me in so many ways.

Today, I make this GoFundMe because I need help. I do IOP 4 days a week and do my mental health and 5 meetings a week. I'm looking for work, but it's been hard to find a job that is flexible with my everyday things. Everyday things like food and gas, etc. The list goes on. I have gone to churches and anywhere I can to get food boxes and gas vouchers. I even donate blood to get money in my pocket. It's hard, but with God, I'm doing good. It's not easy, but what in life is easy? I decided to start a GoFundMe and be honest and ask for help. Anything helps. Thank you for reading this and know I appreciate you. Today, I'm getting me back and love my journey so far and now trust in God. I'm happy, and the biggest part is I'm present today, strong, and an overcomer. My recovery comes first for me and my family. I now know my mom looks down on me, and she is my biggest cheerleader. And I know she is so proud of me. Mom, I'm on fire like you told me I would be if I got clean. God is so good, and so is my life. ❤️❤️❤️
