Addiction is out there affecting many
folks on a daily bases, taking them out
one by one, some for good and many
who have found recovery.
Many folks still today have no idea how
dangerous it is until someone close to
them has died or it has happened to them.
26 yrs ago, I had no idea how bad my
addiction to alcohol had become until
family stepped in getting me help I so
desperately needed at that time in my
life.
Once I entered recovery and began to
incorporate the knowledge of my addiction
and a program of recovery to my every
day life, then it became top priority, a strong
solid foundation to live my life upon for
many one days sober down the road.
From day one of my recovery it became
known in my family and friends circle,
because each one was affected or touched
in one way or another by my own actions
and behavior.
Yrs down the road as I continue with my
own on going recovery always remaining
teachable, willing to make healthy changes,
I have become more passionate about my
recovery, more understanding of the dangers
still lurking out there in the world with
drugs and alcohol and how it affects many.
I use to worry back in the day about many
things surrounding my addiction and recovery,
but over the yrs, I am not. It has become my
own responsibility to pass on the knowledge
and recovery of addiction that was taught to
me yrs ago to others struggling with addiction
still today.
I am just one of many voices who share this
important information, our own ESH - experiences,
strengths and hopes of what life was and is
like before, during and after alcohol or drugs
to those still suffering.
I began passing this info on right there in
my home beginning with my little ones yrs
ago, making them aware of the dangers
out there in the world surrounded by drugs
and alcohol.
They saw first hand what it did to me in
hopes that my own experience would be
a life long lesson to them when they began
their own lives down the road.
Thankfully those lessons stuck because
they grew up and became awesome, talented,
loving, caring little adults with their own
families, addiction free.
When I think about that, It makes me feel
blessed that I must have done something
right with help from Above.
What an AWESOME Gift..!!!
