ESSAY April 2025 - Courage to Change - Adriana C., Mexico

Overcoming Addiction and Betrayal to Rebuild Love, Trust, and Purpose.   When I attended my first SA meeting in May 2021, I was totally immersed in lust and had already lost almost everything. The problem began when my father abandoned us. My mother had to go out to work, leaving me alone with my little brother. Then, my mother married an alcoholic and violent man, twice her age, but with a good job. My childhood was hell. I suffered humiliation, violence, hunger, abandonment, economic deprivation, and sexual abuse by my stepfather. I dreamed that a charming prince would come to rescue me one day. While I isolated myself from the world, I discovered masturbation to escape my reality.
