Lacey’s story is quite non-linear.

She started out as a wild college girl whose daily lifestyle included drinking, using drugs, and endless partying. Sex was like a sport, a game to win - the more men, the more power, and the more she knew she was wanted and desired.

After college, she found herself falling in love with a music DJ, Thomas. Thomas was a high school dropout also deep into drinking, drugs, and partying. Their love was immediate, within a week they knew they’d get married.

They gave up drinking and drugs for a brief time together - to cleanse and detox. They even promised to wait to have sex until they got hitched. Not much else changed - they still went to parties and still chilled with the same friends.

Marriage happened. They invited a woman into the relationship as a sexual partner. A month passed, and they agreed to end it with the paramour. However, Thomas didn’t let her go. He started seeing her behind his wife’s back.

We get to hear: how Lacey’s bad trip on mushrooms was a come-to-Jesus moment, how she survived emotional abuse, an affair, and the inevitable breakup of her marriage. But their story doesn’t end there! Thomas recovers from his dark ways and earns a second chance. You could say they have a gift of VICTORY! They are still married, have both done 180s, and have a heck of a story!
