💙 SUCCESS STORY: RECOVERY & A SECOND CHANCE 🙏

The Carteret County Sheriff’s Office is proud to share the inspiring success story of Ali Evans. Through our commitment to providing opportunities for change, we are honored to have played a part in her journey. Ali’s continued sobriety is a reminder that with determination, support, faith, and the willingness to make a change, a different future is possible. While we are grateful to have been part of her journey, the hard work, courage, and commitment belong to Ali.

In Ali’s own words:
“There was a time in my life when I was struggling with addiction, and honestly, I never imagined I would be where I am today. My addiction took me down a road I never thought I would travel, but God had a different plan for my life. Today, I am proud to say that I am still sober, still thriving, and living a life I once prayed for. Recovery hasn't just changed my life; it has changed me as a person. I am so thankful to the Carteret County Sheriff’s Office and everyone who believed in giving me a chance. I am not proud of every choice I made in my past, but I am proud of the woman I am today. My past is part of my story, but it does not define me, and it will never determine my future. Most importantly, I give God all the glory. He carried me through the darkest chapter of my life and gave me the strength to keep going when things weren't easy. To anyone struggling with addiction, please don't give up on yourself. You are not beyond help, you are not a lost cause, and your story is not over. There is hope, there is healing, and there is a beautiful life waiting for you on the other side of recovery. I am living proof that people can change, recovery is possible, and your past does not have to define who you become. One day at a time. One choice at a time. One life rebuilt by the grace of God.” 🙏❤️

We celebrate Ali’s continued success and thank her for sharing her story to encourage others who may be facing similar struggles. Her journey reminds us why hope, compassion, and the opportunity for a second chance matter.
