I couldn't and wouldn't stop drinking
on my own and now I am very thankful
that my family stepped in with an intervention
to get me into a safe place to help me heal
and receive some much needed education
on addiction and its affects on myself and
others around me.
I received the gift of a recovery program
to incorporate in all my affairs to remain
sober one day at a time.
That was 25 yrs ago. 21 days instay rehab
with a 6 week outpatiant aftercare program
attached to help me begin my recovery
journey in life that I continue to travel along.
I took many suggestions passed on to me
to help me learn how to live a healthy, happy,
honest life as well as accepting people, places
and things just as they are suppose to be in
life because I have no control over them.
I also learned about letting go of resentments
that kept me sick within my addiction. Asking
for help when needed and not be ashamed of
it. Along with many other awesome lessons Ive
learned along the way and continue today.
Alcohol addiction was like acid eating away
at me from the inside out destroying my heart,
mind and soul.
It wasn't until I let go of the poison and
replaced it with a recovery program that
I began to heal and regain my youth.
I was 30 when I entered recovery and
today in almost 57 and feel as young
as a healthy age of hmmmmm???? 30ish.
I don't think I want to ever feel old even
when I do get old....lol
A program of recovery is a wonderful
awesome gift to give yourself beginning
now.
