My name is Natasha and I am a believer in recovery. I struggle with my character. Emptiness was what filled my life before I started the recovery process. I was irresponsible. My attitude towards others depended on who they were and what I needed – this was my attitude toward God as well. I was rude when I needed to be and good when I wanted to be. When I abandoned my children to be fully involved in a lifestyle of being with multiple men was the lowest point in my life. This lifestyle is what brought me to prison.
A friend told me about the CR program
brought to us by YUGO; it was in joining this group that I came to know
God. With my relationship in Him growing
I feel confident and protected. Through
CR I have learned to recognize my mistakes and through God I receive guidance
for my life. I am learning how to treat others as I would want to be treated.
Everything has changed. Now I can’t go
to sleep without talking to Him first.
My trust is in God alone.
One of the benefits of being a part of
the CR Program is that I feel better about myself and I have a place where I
can open up and share what is on my heart. My life has begun to change and now
I have the opportunity to share it with the other women here and with my
family.
