“ in a world where I’ve lost everything don’t think for one second I’m not afraid to lose it all again!”
This quote hit me like a freight train because it captures exactly where I am right now.
I HAVE lost everything. My children. My marriage. My freedom when I was in jail. My reputation. My sense of self. I literally went from rock bottom to homelessness to rebuilding my entire life from scratch.
And you know what? That experience taught me something most people never learn: I can survive losing everything. I’ve already done it. I’ve already walked through that fire and came out the other side.
So when people try to threaten me, manipulate me, or make me compromise my values because I might “lose something” - they don’t understand who they’re dealing with.
I’m not afraid to lose it all again because I know exactly what I’m made of now. I’ve rebuilt myself once - from a broken, addicted woman who hurt everyone she loved to someone who’s been sober since May 8, 2023, who builds businesses, who fights for her recovery every single day, who created the Keep Going Movement to help others find hope.
I’ve learned to meet my basic needs. I’ve learned to handle my emotions without destroying everything around me. I’ve learned to take responsibility for my part in the destruction and use that knowledge to build something better.
The difference between losing everything the first time and potentially losing it again is this: the first time, I lost everything because of my own destructive choices. This time, if I lose anything, it will be because I refused to compromise my integrity, my recovery, or my values.
And honestly? That’s not really losing at all. That’s winning.
So yeah, I’m not afraid. I’ve already been to the bottom. I know the way back up. And I know that no matter what anyone takes from me, they can never take away who I’ve become.
Keep going, warriors. Sometimes the scariest thing about us is that we’re not scared anymore. 🔥💪
