From Financial Struggles in Addiction to Financial Security in Sobriety
How many people struggle with financial issues in their battle with addiction and in their recovery? I think financial struggles are largely prevalent and not often talked about when you are in recovery/sobriety from an addiction.
Financial Struggles in Addiction and New Found Security in Sobriety
As I approach my 4th year sober from alcohol, I realize how grateful I am that recovery has given me back so much and made me capable to reach financial security.
I have struggled greatly with financial choices, debt, inability to manage or function when trying to handle my finances. I have had a history of avoidance, and it was only in recovery that I finally found myself capable of making decisions to reach financial security.
My video is long, but it does have promises of the hope in recovery, tears of gratitude (about 4 minutes in), and puppy kisses (8 minutes in if you want to see my puppy Leah make an appearance)!!!

Hi Kendra,
well done - congratulations! What a big achievement.
Good to hear your story and gratitude.
So great to see you emotions over your achievements, especially the car!
I wonder wheter sharing this video has solidified your resolution for sobriety.
I can relate to the difficulty of becoming sober having been there with several addictions myself.
Hopefully more people will hear your story.
