Sober 210 days
I found this site when I was checking in, to remind myself I am not alone in my fight.....I have not found the right AA or NA group for me.....going to NA where others are forced there for drug court is not for me.
I do have two little girls 4 and 2 and a supportive wife......This keeps me strong and centered.
It was my 4 year old that opened the universe up to me ...at the park (dope sick) I realized there is a beautiful world out there and I am not living in it. It was the simple things, rocks and butterflies.
At that time sick after 20 years of addiction, I entered for the second time rehab after an ******** treatment eight months earlier, (which is a topic for another day)....I have remained sober ever sense...... in order to increase my chances to remain sober I quit smoking, for me it all started with a cigarette........not only did my family deserve better, I deserved it most of all.
Today I am thankful...I can rest peacefully at night.....I can feel my brain chemistry changing with a profound sense of lasting well being.
