Send us Fan Mail

She was a Sunday school teacher who showed up to church hungover most weeks. Not partying. She says the alcohol was medicine, the equivalent of a bottle of Xanax at the end of a long day.

Yolanda Gray was the oldest of six girls in a difficult home, a teenage mother, and a woman in a hard marriage for almost twenty years. Sobriety came first. Seven years later, everything else changed.

Three things you will take from this one.

Our secrets keep us sick. She spent years trying to stop on her own because she was ashamed, and it was telling the truth that finally moved her.

You cannot take back a life you do not believe is yours. Identity comes before the choice.

Rest is not optional. Shingles laid her out for fifteen months, and she says the hustle we were sold is a lie.
