- Drugs
- Friends & Family
Drugs had taken over my life. I was miserable. I was getting older and I had nothing. I had nobody in my life. I just didn’t want to live like that anymore. As they say, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I guess that’s what it took for me to get into recovery. I have learned that you have to want sobriety. I didn’t know if I could do it, but I sure did want a better life…one that didn’t revolve around drugs. Well, you know what, you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. I did it and you can too. My life is so different now, in a good way!
I am currently living in a sober living home, and it really helps me to be immersed in recovery 24/7. We have daily meetings, people to talk to, the support of others. I think people new to recovery should consider living in a sober living community. I love that I’m no longer using. I feel good. Being clean feels good! I have a job now and I am responsible for myself. The new me feels confident and deserving of friendships and support. My best times using can never compete with how great living sober is today. I am happy!
