I have that little voice Etta and his name is complacency. On my lifes surface people (bar my family) did not know I had a problem. I was attending university, I was working in both a professional capacity and had a part-time job. I had a very active social life and was at least passing my first year of university. But things came tumbling down pretty fast and it became apparent pretty swiftly that I had a problem that I needed help with.
You don't need to wait for bad things to happen before you decide to make a change in your life. You can make that change right now. I know it would have been easier for me to actually start my recovery journey nearly 18 months ago and I guess I did, but I didn't want it all that much. I didn't wanna put the effort in. I had to reach consequences and my own personal rock bottom before I was willing to recover.
