"It truly is a day at a time”
Terry Liggins grew up around drugs, gangs and violence. He survived his first drive-by shooting at 6 years old. But it wasn't until he was 30 that he received education surrounding trauma.
Today, if ever Terry feels tired of going on, he thinks of his daughter. That gives him everything he needs to keep believing in himself and the power of his recovery story.

Ask a coach: Parent with addiction
Q: How do I keep my parent with addiction in my life?
A: As the daughter of someone who has addiction and severe mental health issues, I’ve been told to cut my mom out of my life more times than I can count. What people don’t understand is that really isn’t an option for a lot of us. We don’t want to walk away from someone we care about, addiction or not.
It took a long time for me to get to the place I am today with my mom. I had to learn to accept her how she is, not how I wish she would be.
