Molly’s Story

After a traumatic experience with a boy at school, I started making bad decisions at a very young age. I was pregnant by 15 had a baby at 16. I wanted to be good mom, but I really didn’t know what I was doing. I started using really heavily to mask the pain and the trauma that I didn’t think I could tell anyone about. I started putting needles in my arms, I started smoking fentanyl and then that’s when things got really bad. I realized one day, that I wasn’t actually alive, and I decided to come to Teen Challenge.

Ever since coming here, God has been showing me who he is, and who I am. He’s just been so faithful to me and I really can see who I am without the labels of my past. I know that I’m a child of God and that I have a future and a hope for myself. I think it’s really the Lord at work here. I mean, you can have a program all day long, but if God’s not in it, nothing is really going to happen for you.
