I was struggling then I found a program - DA Speaker Meeting

Shawn shares their childhood trauma of feeling abandoned by their family at age three, which instilled a core belief that they didn’t matter and had to work for love. They explain how this belief manifested in their early adulthood, leading to addiction, a struggle with gratitude, and self-worth, particularly after feeling betrayed by God during their adolescence. Through a 12-step program, Shawn is learning to trust a loving God, embrace authenticity, and recognize their own worth, realizing that their addictions are a gift bringing them closer to a spiritual connection and personal growth.
