But here I was feeling guilt because I was out on my mission kind of unworthily.

I'd never really truly repentant.

And I didn't really understand the atollet, and I should have because I was in the mission field watching people change.

But I guess my guilt kind of kept me from being able to understand and chill the atonlet.

And so, and I thought if I go and repent,

I'm going to dishonor my family,

dishonor my parents.

So I just finished my mission.

And when I got home, my older brother Ed,

you know, quickly came to me,

hey, let's go get drunk, And he didn't go on a mission.

And pretty soon I'm out drinking again and smoking weed again.

This is Ashley Stone, and you're listening to The Comeback Podcast.

This episode is brought to you by a very, very special brand called Memoir.

What makes this brand so special is that it's jewelry designed for one simple purpose, which is to help us always remember

the Savior. For years, the main outward symbols of discipleship have been things like a cross

necklace or a CTR ring, and both are wonderful, but Memora creates beautiful, faith-inspired

pieces that give us more ways to express our discipleship. Each piece carries a quiet reminder of

Christ's life and sacrifice, and it makes such a thoughtful gift, whether someone's walking

through a really hard season or celebrating a sacred milestone like baptism, temple endowment,

or a mission call. I have mine on right now. I have my disciple bracelet. I love it so much. I wear it every single day and I never take it off.

It's more than just jewelry. It's a way to keep our Savior close and to wear a reminder of our faith every single day.
