Britany'S New Start Story
Britany cannot really say where her story begins, except that she was not always the smiling mother we see today.
During Britany’s lowest moments of her life, she was drinking daily, mostly unable to get out of bed, a horribly inattentive parent, and getting sick so often that it had become her normal. Alcohol was ruining her life.
Her rocky road to recovery began when she sought treatment. She stayed sober for several months, then made the mistake of starting a romantic relationship with someone also in treatment before she had enough time to focus on her own recovery.
The relationship was not a good one, things spiraled out of control quickly and Brittany was not allowed to see her children.
After much abuse, stealing, legal issues, dangerous situations and desperate to see her children-- Brittany reached out for treatment at Sacred Heart, not once but twice. Brittany was welcomed into treatment both times. The second time she took the time needed to heal her body, and to focus on her mind, spirit and heart. Brittany was in residential treatment then transitioned to Sacred Heart’s women’s recovery home. She knew she needed to get better in order for her to be a good mom to Scarlett and Lincoln.
Today Britany has celebrated 2 years of recovery and was recently promoted to a Domestic Violence Crisis Advocate at a local shelter for women. She chairs NA meetings and sponsors women. She hopes to eventually return to school to obtain her master’s degree to be a therapist or work in another related field.
When asked, Britany says she is humbled, honored and so grateful to be here today. Also, the best part of recovery is that she gets to be a mom, and give her children the very best of her, the mother that they deserve. She is attentive, aware, supportive, and present. She can tell her kids every single day that she loves them. She lives in a Sacred Heart Independent Living unit and has a space where she, Scarlet and Lincoln can sleep safely.
It’s no wonder Britany and her children’s smiles are so bright. Every day they get to be together as life continues to get better and better. They deserved this chance and others do too.
Many women, like Britany enter Residential Treatment, Recovery Housing and Independent Living and have nothing but themselves and their children to begin a new start. They lack the necessities to provide the normalcy they deserve such as toiletries, clothing, home furnishings and a stuffed toy to squeeze.
