- Drugs
The turning point that prompted my decision to find help is when I realized I would die if I continued to use.
I reached out for help and I started out in therapy dealing with my trauma. I tried to do in-patient treatment but my insurance would only cover out patient. I would come out of a session and use. I then went to NA while continuing outpatient. I would stay clean 90 days and relapse. I was finally able to string together days past 90. I realized I needed a spiritual side to my recovery so I added that. Putting all of these together I have remained clean for 5 years and 33 days today.
The lesson I learned is to never give up on recovery. I was the relapse queen before recovery finally stuck.
My life today is amazing. I have a supportive husband, an amazing job and most of all happiness and peace.
There is life after drugs!
