“I will tell you that when you give up ‘the things’ and trust Heavenly Father, miracles happen. Absolute miracles happen. I always thought that supporting my family and working for my family was the best thing that I can do. I never realized that quitting my job and becoming sober was the best thing that I could do. I just thought ‘I have to work, there’s no way around this.’ Quitting my job was terrifying! I read the Book of Mormon during that time and my bishop had given me a blessing that said my ancestors and my posterity were watching over me. So even my children’s children were aware of what we were going through.”
