Opening up about my relapse on TikTok was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Admitting that I fell again, after what felt like the hundred-millionth time, wasn’t easy—but I knew the truth needed to be spoken. Because the truth is, relapse doesn’t mean failure. It means I’m still fighting. It means I haven’t given up. And through it all, I found God again. Every time I fall, He reminds me that I’m not alone, that I am loved, and that my journey isn’t over. I pray not just for myself, but for everyone battling this disease—whether it’s alcoholism or drug addiction. I love everyone equally, without judgment, because I know the darkness addiction brings. And I ask God every day to guide me—to help me become a better person and to light the way for those still lost in the struggle. Even though this relapse set me back from my internship to become an addiction counselor, I know this is not the end of my path. God has a plan for me, and as long as I keep fighting, keep working on myself, and keep pushing forward, He will lead me to where I’m meant to be. And no matter what people say—no matter who doubts me or tries to convince me otherwise—I am joining the Navy. No one is going to dim my light, and no one should ever dim yours either. We are all capable of more than we know, and as long as we keep moving forward with faith, no obstacle is too big to overcome. There is always hope. I am living proof of that. Even with my stumbles, even with my setbacks, I am still standing. And if I can rise again, so can you.
