3 years ago I found myself homeless on the streets of Los Angeles with a 25yr. Meth addiction, an alcoholic drinking a gallon of vodka a day, a two pack a day cigarette smoker and prostituting myself for all if these habits. I tried to commit suicide..I didn't want to live. I grew up in foster homes.. Had no family and no hope.. I had lost my daughter, husband and everyone who remotely cared about me..Feb 8, 2016 I cried out to Jesus ...he answered me with the Walter Hoving Home. A beautiful Christian discipleship home that saved my life and gave me back hope and a relationship with Jesus. Here I am 3yrs. Later..grateful and alive. I now work for Unshattered who employs women who are winning their battle with addiction.

Hello @hisgrace6992 and welcome to Mayo Connect,

I'm pleased that you shared your story of sobriety with Connect. It sounds as if Unshattered has given you a place to give back to others what you have learned about sobriety. What do you feel is the most important character trait for a person wanting to stay sober?
