Annie Otte
I personally struggled with addiction for 10 years, in a place of darkness - not considering that there is help available for relief of this "pointless existence" I was living. I could not dream of the possibility that I too, can live purposefully and peaceful.
My journey started on 2 September 2022. This was the day a non-judgemental, loving and supportive hand was held out to me, guiding me to that possibility. All I had to do was take that hand. This led me to surrender the fact that I am indeed an alcoholic addict, and should take up the tools for recovery.
The path of passion and vision, of holding my own hand out to a fellow addict / alcoholic facing the same struggles I was faced with was born. I feel that the time has come to put God's plans, that I believe He intended for me all along, into action.
