About The Book

The early years of her life were marked by confusion and sadness, and the decades lost to alcohol and drugs. Terri’s story captures the silent pain that many people live with but rarely discuss. Her journey is marked by mistakes, regret, and heartbreak, but also by faith, courage, and the quiet strength that comes from never giving up.

Through rehab, the twelve steps, and her deepening relationship with God, Terri slowly began to heal. She learned that recovery isn’t about perfection, it’s about honesty, forgiveness, and the willingness to start again every day. The pages of her story reveal how surrender became her greatest strength, and how love, faith, and grace helped her rebuild a new life from the pieces of the old one.

When she celebrates five years of sobriety beside her son, Brandon, the moment feels like a full circle, proof that healing can reach even the deepest wounds.

“Trapped in My Own Mind” is more than a story of addiction and recovery. It’s a testament to hope, faith, and second chances. It reminds us that no matter how far we fall, it’s never too late to rise again, to forgive ourselves, and to find peace within our own hearts.
