01 What it was like
In my 5 years of active addiction was so hard, lonely, and scary. Being a Crystal meth IV user i thought i was never gonna recover
I was always having to look over my shoulder, scared to go to sleep and never knowing if I was gonna make it through the next 24 hours.
In my 5 years of active addiction was so hard, lonely, and scary.
02 What happened
I got so desperate for sobriety, I packed what little things I did have and moved 4 state's away. I moved in with my big sister started going to aa meetings. Sometimes 3 a day until I got the obsession under control. I got sponser and started working the steps.
03 What it is like now
Now I am 70 days sober. I have full time job and I just put a deposit down on my new apartment. I still go to aa meetings every chance I get. I feel amazing and life is good. Desperation saved my life. AA saved my life. I now live to pass on my experience and pass on the message that no matter how far you've feel like you've fallen it is never to late to recover.
