Linda’s* first DUI at age 36 should have been a wake up call. But it wasn’t. At that time, she had no thoughts of admitting to having an addiction to alcohol. Her job as a marketing director for a chain

The website is such an inspiration. I love the “O” symbol. It’s identifiable with you. A good way to brand your cause. Congrats!!!!!!
Great work for 2013. Looking forward to more interviews of overcomers in
2014.
I am so proud to be a part of this project. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say you inspire us Melony!
Wow! There is so much to this story: the sad reality of a child slipping through the cracks, the downward spiral of desperation and the subsequent impact of hitting rock bottom only to discover that the boundless mercies of the Lord had indeed endured.
I was deeply moved by Stacy’s will to first survive and then to overcome, by the far reaching effect of, seemingly benign, acts of kindness toward a lonely little girl, by a group of Christians, and by the powerful cause and effect of one woman lifted from the ashes.
With God’s help, Stacy made some hard choices- the harder the choice, the higher she rises. What an inspiration to so many!
Stacy’s story demonstrates how God can change the direction of one life with his love. Even when you are at your lowest, he can reach down and pull you out of whatever circumstances you are in. All you have to do is cry out to him and let him take control of your life. Stacy is a beautiful example of this, and it is awesome to hear how she is using her life for God’s glory. She is a wonderful inspiration, and I hope she has all the love and happiness she so richly deserves.
Great story! Can’t wait to hear the ending!
Sad, but touching
Looking forward to the ending! I hope the cycle will be broken and recovery will prevail!!
Thank you for taking me on Stacy’s journey.
God does far and above what we can ask or imagine. He has redeemed Stacy from the pit and has put in place a new song of life for her and her descendants. This is an amazing story of rescue and restoration. Thank you Stacy for proclaiming the gospel message through your God story. May we all follow your example and look to the Lord for hope, help and healing. Love you so much and keep your heart open to our sweet Jesus.
Thanks for this, Melony.
There are some things in Linda’s story I can carry into my AA prison meetings.
blessings!

What a beautiful story. Thank you, Linda, for sharing it with the rest of us.
this is a really cool story. i am sure that the judge rarely gets to see someone’s entire life story, and be able to see it come full circle, I know Linda and she is a great person!!
