Commitment to Her Son

Commitment has become a big part of Demi’s life because showing up gives her a good feeling.

“In the first two years of recovery, I spent a lot of time learning things about myself. I was developing a relationship with [my]self. I learned to love myself again,” said Demi.

She switched jobs and worked for a quadriplegic man, who has become a good friend.  She still works for him one day a week.

Eighteen months after being clean, Demi found out she was pregnant. She and her significant other were filled with joy because Demi had been told that the chance of her getting pregnant was very slim.

“The day my son was born is now the greatest day of my life. This little boy filled my heart with so much love and gratitude. I saw my reflection in my son’s eyes. What a beautiful spiritual experience,” said Demi.
