There are so many sick people out there
in the world and don't even know it. Addiction
to meds, drugs, alcohol any kind of controlled
substance takes a hold of them, just like it did
me and like me I didn't know until it was just
about too late.

However, because I like so many who
are learning about addiction and are
taught some sort of helpful program
of recovery as a guideline in helping
us to remain sober or clean one day
at a time, we can be one voice amongst
many to attract the ones still sick into
getting help, like we did.

If we who found a way to remain sober
or clean and never shared our own ESH -
our experiences, strengths and hopes of
what our lives were and are like before,
during and after addiction, then how will
others that are still sick know if living a
recovery life actually works.

These sick and ill folks need us who are
passionate about our recovery life to
know that there is help, so much help
available to them to help them find this
solution to get healthy and happy in all
areas of their life.

I know I was rambling a bit here, but like
you, by the Grace of my HP that could
still be me today if family hadn't intervened
on me 24 yrs ago and allowed me to remain
in rehab for 28 days to pick up the knowledge
of a recovery program to guide me along in
my own journey in life.

I have to keep those sick folks in prayer
and hope that they receive help sometime
soon.

Thank you for sharing and letting me know
that alcohol and drugs are still kicking azz
big time out there and that it hasn't changed.
