Everyone’s rock bottom is different. Mine came after a fresh DUI landed me in jail May 25th of this year. Besides the fact that my sister had lost her vehicle (everything was in my name), I was served with a court action for the custody of my daughter during my stay in the local pokey. At that point I had given up 6 months of my daughter’s life to alcohol, and I truly began to reach my breaking point. After a couple weeks, fresh out of jail, I did what we alcoholics do best when trying to face our problem alone: I relapsed yet again. Now, thanks to the staff and my brothers at Stepworks London, I’m going into the courtroom today to face not just a judge, but also my baby girl SOBER to begin facilitating a major change in my life, her life, and our future together. This is the first day of the rest of my life and I am greatful today to face it with a change of mind, a change of heart, and a willingness I have longer ago forgotten.

Thanks to all my brothers and sisters who have helped me to reach this place inside me. Say a prayer for me and for my baby girl. Kamelia Aurelia Lavigne Terrell
