back in august i turned 21 and really drank a lot. i've been drinking since i was 12 though, turning 21 gave me an excuse to drink even more. the drinking was only part of my problem, meth was my major problem...2 weeks after my birthday i decided i was either going to kill myself or get help. i called the crisis hotline and was referred to detox. i didn't even realize that detox existed. i had a rough time coming down off the meth and was there 8 days and it was hard. i knew that 8 days wasn't going to fix me so i checked into a 30 inpatient rehab and that really did wonders and planted the seed of recovery in my mind and in my heart. i knew that 38 days of sobriety hadn't made me strong enough to go back out in the streets...so i moved from KCK to colorado into a 6 month program or sober living home. i ended up getting kicked out though for fraternizing (talking to a man also in recovery) but i've been clean and sober almost 4 months and go to 5 AA meetings a week. you know, detox is going to be scary, but it's worth it. it's the beginning of a new life and the miracles have already started to happen in my sobriety. just keep an open mind, trust in a higher power and be strong, if i can do it you can do it. i try not getting overconfident, but i want sobriety so much and i am willing to go to any length to get it. good luck, you can do it
