"It was a long, hard struggle for me, and I thought I would never get to this point, but I feel at peace with the past now and can move forward in life not being chained to it."
How I did it: A lot of soul searching, determination, up and down emotions then the final realization that it was the past holding me back from living my life the way I should live it.
Lessons & tips: You have to really dig deep within yourself and realize the past can't hurt you anymore. It's over, it's done with, it's time to leave it where it belongs...in the past. Know that there are people in the present who love and care for you just as you are.
Resources: My 3 grown children, family members and dear friends who stood by and supported me through my struggles. Reading everything I could get my hands on that was inspirational and motivational. My favorite website was motivateus.com.
