 Why I changed - From Dopeman to Counselor

Going from the dopeman and getting high to counselor is crazy in itself. But change wasn't just something that happened; it was a choice—a deliberate, life-altering decision. When you're living day to day, just surviving, it's like being stuck in quicksand; the more you struggle without direction, the deeper you sink.

I woke up one morning, tired of the same routine, tired of walking down a path that was easy but led nowhere. It was then I made the decision that survival wasn't enough. I wanted to thrive; I wanted to help others do the same. 

My journey wasn't easy. Turning your life around feels like swimming against a relentless tide. But here's what I've discovered: When you have a purpose that goes beyond yourself, and you invest in elevating those around you, there's no greater satisfaction or success.

My story might be unique, but the message is universal: Change is waiting for anyone who wants it badly enough. Now as a counselor, I dedicate my days to those who are where I once was—to those striving for more than just getting by; to those who are ready for transformation.

If my story resonates with even one person on their path to change, then sharing this has been worth it. Change is possible—believe it!-Belle-
