The Drugs Were Always Around

This is a story about a woman who overcame many challenges in her life-for example, drug use, never having an adult to help her, and abuse in many ways. It took her a long time to get it together, but she did. In the mess that she was raised, she was still able to raise two children who are doing extremely well in their lives and even got to earn a college degree. With God's help and her determination, she overcame many things. I want my story to be able to reach out to others and give them hope that anything is possible and that it's not how you start but how you finish that matters.
