Angelia has always been motivated. Today, she's a mother, an outstanding employee, and a business owner. But her motivation wasn't always productive. When Angelia was younger, she devoted her time and attention to alcohol and drugs, along with negative aspects of dealing drugs. For her, remembering the last moments before she got sober, when she was lying in a jail cell and her roommate was passing her something to eat at 4:30 in the morning, has been instrumental in her recovery. That was the point where she knew she needed to change and find the support to help her make it.
