????This photo was 2 years ago! ???? The beginning of one of the hardest times in my life. Vacationing in Florida and the start of my husbands devastating relapse. I won't get into great detail about what we went through, because my husband is a great man and has worked so hard to fight through his demons and has also risen above it! ????But I will tell you how I felt.... The woman on the left was 2.5 years sober but was living a drunks life. She used food as a coping mechanism for her anxiety and depression. Food had replaced alcohol. She hated the person on the outside and masked the pain on the inside by putting all of her efforts into everyone else. No one would know how she truly felt because she bottled it all up inside. This women was exhausted, burnt out, depressed, and alone. ‼️‼️UNTIL she decided to stop being a victim‼️ I share this because the person you see now isn't who I was 2 years ago. The woman you see now worked hard, and allowed herself to become vulnerable. She took that wall down and embraced the changes she was about to endure. The woman you see now is surrounded by positive supportive women, is brave and confident. The woman you see now was the woman always inside of me, I just had to stop tucking her away and let her out! The woman on the right is ME! And I'm on fire for life!!! I will no longer be the victim of my past or my circumstance and neither should you!!! ????‍♀️If you're ready to find your inner badass too drop your favorite emoji and I will reach out to you. Let go of your fears and make a change!! #busymoms #momsofinsta #momsoftoddlers #wifemomboss #wifelife #momwifeboss #learningtolove #learningtoloveme #findinggreatness #whynotyou #tiredmoms
