Name: Chris

Age: 36

Sober Since: 02 / 24 / 2013

Sober For: 11 Years & 64 Days

What it was like?

Dark. I choose to remember the dark days. There were some fun ones but those days make me romanticize the lifestyle if I think on them too much. The dark days were the ones that made me realize what I was and what I had become.

What happened?

I overdosed. Destroyed relationships, ruined everyone around me. I never got caught so nothing ever seemed wrong but when those things happened I knew there was only one way for this to go for me. Death

What it is like now?

Life is living and not exsisting with a one track mindset all the time. I’m not a slave to the substance or the lifestyle. I have a freedom to choose to do the right thing. I have things I didn’t know I was going to have from getting clean. The blessings are amazing.
