I Just Moved From Sober Living to Signing a Lease

Submitted on Jul 23, 2025 by  Angel S.

I am coming up on a year sober and clean, what a milestone!
I am living the life.
Each day a new beginning, I live in the here and now. I embrace my new way of living. To think it took so long to believe in my faith. I left my situation on just that blind faith and never turned back. I have achieved so many of my goals in such a short time.
I am self sufficient and able to help others.
My journey to here was not without trials. My perception was different so my outcome also was different.
I have four sources of income, a sponsor, a tight program, solid faith and Joy in my life.
I couldn't have imagined being where I am today. Now I can't imagine going back. I keep it fresh today staying structured and teachable.
My way never worked. I follow the suggetions from the group of AA.
I'm taking classes to improve my outreach work. I stay involved in my recovery one day at a time. That's all for today.
The Glory is all His!!

Wow—what a powerful testimony. Your words truly radiate strength, faith, and transformation.

Reading your story reminded me of a women’s retreat I attended earlier this year, sponsored by Women In Motion. I was surrounded by brave, resilient women who, like you, had walked through fire and came out glowing with purpose. Some had been clean and sober for years, and the love, wisdom, and support they poured into others was unforgettable.

Thank you for your vulnerability and courage—it’s so encouraging to see someone living boldly in their truth and giving glory to God for the journey.

Congratulations on your sobriety milestone—what a victory! With God and with this kind of community, all things are truly possible. 💛
