Hi there, my name is Kayla! My journey to get where I am today wasn’t easy. One of the hardest lessons I learned was acceptance and how to be honest with myself. Lack of power was my dilemma. Today I am proud to say I am sober and I’m actually happy! I thought life was pointless. I was in some really dark places and now I’m achieving things I didn’t know were possible. But I can’t say I did it by myself, God and my family saved my life. I have so much gratitude today!

One of my biggest motivations to stay sober is my 1y/o son, Jett. He’s my world and I have to show him that this program does work. If he ever falls victim to this disease, I don’t want him to see it didn’t work for me and never give it a try.

I can’t wait to share the solution with others struggling, I know how hard this disease is. Especially on our warriors.
