I was a "functional addict" for 25 years...
I was able to avoid any problems with the law, with my employer, with my family, ect while continuing to grow sicker and sicker...
Eventually I was busted at work with a dirty UA for methamphetamines...and I had to make the choice of my career or the dope...
it took me about a week to decide that I wanted to keep my job as a nurse...
I got clean and sober and then things began to make sense...
I realized that I could lose my children...
and everything else...my house, my job, my life...
I began to care about living life clean and sober, where before my mind was so clouded by my drug use that the only thing that I could think about was getting high.
I've seen young people "get" the program..
I've also seen many, many addicts go back "out there" and some die as a result of this disease.
Today I'm grateful for the second chance at the new life that this program has given me.
