01 What it was like

Life was trying to survive day by day, trying to stay high or drunk to get through the day. Full of depression and anger. Loneliness from a loss of family and friends. Life was meaningless and my world was crashing before my eyes.

02 What happened

I wanted to change. I wanted my life back. I could barely remember what life was like prior to my addiction, but I knew it was better than the life I was living. I was given the opportunity through the court system, counselors, group therapy and passion to succeed in my soul that I could not ignore. I wanted to change.

03 What it is like now

My life now... it's normal, at least what I feel a normal life should be like. And by normal I mean fantastic! I have a family that loves me, I have a wonderful job, I have reconnected with family I previously let down. I love my life even when it seems routine and boring. Everyday I strive to be the best me ever! Everyday I am grateful for my sobriety! Everyday I am thankful for the past 4 years.
