My objective in life is simple. I want to give love and reduce suffering. Fundamentally, this is what I believe to be the purpose of life and what I can offer the world to make it brighter.
I am a recovering addict/alcoholic. For a long time, my only passions and goals were intoxication. By the time it caught up with me, my body, mind, and soul were in complete deterioration. I developed liver disease and cirrhosis, massive gastrointestinal issues, I was vomiting blood every day sometimes vomiting 30+ times a day, I was fainting and seizing, I was in fetal position daily, and I was hallucinating. They said I’d be dead by 22. It was agony. By some force of magic the suffering and fear finally led me to rehab. I didn’t know how I made it through but I knew that I had never felt more loved or understood than in a room full of crackheads and drunks.
I’m coming up on a year and a half clean and sober. The life I live now is entirety different. I’ve re-discovered my mind, my emotions, my talents and quirks, my beauty. My family and friends wakes up everyday and know I’m safe and healthy. I even started working in a rehab to give service to other addicts who were in the same position I was in. I’m filled with love and I’m happy. My passion is to give this to others. The power of love treated my disease. Time and time again, love is the most powerful thing I’ve ever experienced. In whichever course of life I take, I will operate in love. You ask what are my goals and passions? The answer is always love.
