Ten years ago, I was a crack and cocaine addict. It was more off and on the last few years and we had always gotten junk and finally got something good for a change. It scared the HELL out of me. I couldn’t do it again. I couldn’t live it again! I knew it would kill me for sure if I kept going. Right then and there it was OVER! We had been living with and taking care of a retired drug therapist and she just kept saying , “Yeah, whatever.” So I just kept screaming back, “NO, you just watch and see!” Of course, she was just testing me.
I also made a vow to myself that day to not only get my life back, but do it ten times over! It almost seems like a bad dream to me now. My life has changed so much. But what it really comes down to, is you have to want it more then anything you’ve ever wanted in your life! You need to do whatever it takes! Mine was a little different than most I guess. I had already been through years of counseling, IOP, jail, probation…everything. I knew what I had to do. I just had to do it! And more! AA and NA really didn’t work for me. I understand and respect it all, but I had to do this on my own. I put myself there, I had to fix it!
I finally realized that GOD had given me the ability to do it all along. I started the very next day. I spent hours, days and even years building my life up. I created businesses , taught myself and learned about new and better things. I went to college for my computer support tech certificate, helping others as I can and making my life so busy, I couldn’t even possibly go back ever!
Today my life is unreal!
