Today on "Beyond Surviving with Tammie" guest Dominic Carter shared his struggle with past addiction with alcohol, sex and rap music. Dominic's father left to pursue a music career when Dominic was nine years old however he never returned home. As a coping mechanism to his pain from his father's departure Dominic turned to alcohol and pornography.  He idolized rappers and tried to mimic the rap lifestyle. 

Listen to Dominic's story and share with a young person experiencing the father void. He has a powerful message to share.

Dominic is now a published author and Christian counselor.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.   

Robnesha Smith @prettymagicmaid_ would drift into depression if things weren’t clean the way she wanted.   

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder in which a person has certain thoughts repeatedly (called "obsessions") or feels the need to perform certain routines repeatedly (called "compulsions") to an extent that generates distress or impairs general functioning.

Watch how Robnesha handles her anxiety through her business Pretty Magic Maid commercial and residential cleaning.

“For years I was a functioning alcoholic" - Karena H Calhoun  I’m always in awe of the resilience and strength of my guest.   Thank you Karena H Calhoun for your sharing your story this morning on Beyond Surviving with Tammie.
