01 What it was like
Jails, Institutions and Death
What I know is the solutions I found when I first got Sober are still the solutions I practice in my life actively today.
02 What happened
26 Years FREE from all mind altering chemicals today!
What I know is the solutions I found when I first got Sober are still the solutions I practice in my life actively today. I am active in 12 step programs, I do work when it’s good and when it sucks.
I have a community around me of positive humans living in recovery and those that are able to partake without destroying their lives and everything around them.
I have a relationship with the universe, I’m connected, I take time to quiet the mind.
Service in many forms, working with other people trying to find freedom from addiction as well as service with my fellows just trying to be better humans and make an impact in this world.
Movement, nourishment and taking care of my body so I can do the things I dream rather then sit back and watch life pass me by.
03 What it is like now
Through these things, I have found freedom for 26 consecutive years, and live a life of substance and value. I have purpose everyday to get to be the Husband, Father, Son, Brother and Friend that only this Freedom allows me to be.
In 26 years the incomprehensible demoralization of my actions has never returned. There is a path to be free and I am living proof, it’s available to anyone.
