01 What it was like

I was homeless. I had no family, no friends, no nothing but the clothes on my back. My life was completely unmanageable.

02 What happened

I got a gift of desperation. I went to treatment center and followed all the suggestions given to me. Change you must or die you will, so I had to change

03 What it is like now

Beyond my wildest dreams. I could never have thought I'd have the life I do. I'm a functioning member of society today. I'm a husband and a homeowner. I have a good job and i am everything that I never thought I could be. I can't let my gifts of sobriety take my gift of sobriety. I stay vigilant with my sobriety because this is a insidious disease.
