with all kinds of baby clothes with all kinds of baby clothes and bottles and like um bibs and um everything that i didn't have that i needed you know

I was so grateful because he came early.

And, you know, they were telling me that there might be some risks of him, like, withdrawing them, you know, from birth.

And I had heard so many stories from being in and out of the rooms of NA.

You know, you hear stories and you hear people of their babies, like, you know, being addicted and growing, you know, withdrawing when they were born.

And I was praying every night in my room that he would be okay.

By the grace of God, he didn't experience one single symptom.

Wow.

He was a whole month early, no withdrawals, no breathing problems, no stomach problems, nothing.

I knew I would never, ever touch another drug in my life.

Like he had given me such a miracle and such proof of his presence.

And I was like, I'm never turning back.

I'm always going to go forward.

And I'm not going to give this gift up ever, you know, because I didn't care for my life, of course, you know, because I was just doing such reckless things during my addiction.

But he was born and nothing happened.

I was just like, never again.

Wow.

Um, it was a little scary at first, you know, just cause, um, there's more people in this house cause it's bigger.

And, um, but as far as like the, you know, dealing with the baby, I was already kind of in a routine cause he came early.

I actually had him at the Venice house when he was supposed to be here, you know, they move us here before we have our babies.
