- Title Daughter Captures Her Mum's Amazing Recovery Over The Last 12 Months
- Summary This woman has been able to watch as her mum defied her addiction and became one year sober. Mistena Elliott from Springfield, Missouri, highlighted just how far her mum has come in 12 months, by completely turning her life around, after being in active addiction to methamphetamine for 11 years. From one birthday to the next, the footage shows the incredible difference between her mum’s birthday in 2024, while she was in active addiction, compared to this year, where she is sober and getting to know her two grandchildren. The journey has been difficult for both Mistena and her mum, but they revealed that they "wouldn’t change it for the world". Amazingly, Mistena’s mum will be celebrating being one year sober on July 13. Mistena said: “My kids absolutely love my mum and they adore her. My mum loves getting to know them and being in their lives; it’s been beautiful to see. “They still call her by name, Shannon, but whenever they want to, they can absolutely call her grandma, but I think it’ll just take some more time. “I can’t lose what I’ve built trying to fix where I came from. The first six months were pretty brutal, but it has gotten a lot better. “The transformation has been incredible. I am so proud of her."
