 If I had probably drank one more day, I probably wouldn't be here today sitting. My name is Shawna. I'm 42. I'm on the path to recovery. I'm trying to have a healthier lifestyle. I was hospitalized because of my pancreatitis. That's when I found out that I was diabetic. I started drinking and that did not help any of my health problems. I went from 135 pounds to 85 in a two months time frame. And I kind of just one day said I have to do some serious changes in my life or I'm not going to be around as long as I would like to. When Shawna arrived at Fellowship Home, I really didn't know if she was going to make it or not. We often think of wellness as a physical state of being. But in order to recover, you really have to address everything. By coming here, I've developed a daily routine, changing almost everything about my life and how it was running and it's getting better every day. Nutrition was the keystone for her kicking off a pathway to better health. So one of the ways that Shawna loves our women is she feeds them. But through her wellness process, she's learned that flavor doesn't have to be unhealthy. Getting my mental state in order, exercising, my spirituality, it's all connected and the support system that I have here with the other women has made a huge impact on my recovery. She's moved back into a state of wellness which contains hopes and dreams and a future. I watched Shawna's eyes come up. You know, I watched them start sparkling. I watched her start becoming the person she's intended to be rather than the person she was. Whole health and living a healthy lifestyle has changed my life completely. If one person hears my story and I make an impact on their life, I feel like I made a difference.
