Amber's Story: Rising from the Depths of Alcoholism to a Life of Purpose
I think that every single day I learn something new, every single day I meet someone. And I'm still thinking she's a little bit off of her rocker. And she would say: talk out loud, ask god for miracles too.
Amber Leone Murphy's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. At just eight years old, she began sneaking sips of beer at family gatherings. What started as innocent curiosity spiraled into a ten-year battle with alcoholism. Amber's story takes you through her darkest moments—drinking on the job, public intoxication, and even sleeping in her car.
