Making Big Mistakes and Recovering
Hello all,
I'm a recovering Meth addict, been clean 13 months now. Gave it all up, got tired of the crowd, the drama, the thieves, the cops, & and my bad health.
Well so what and how have I changed you ask? To start with, I did it all on my own, no recovery program. Ya, I am probably insane anyways, if not sometimes I feel it's close. I started walking a few miles a day, now a year later I'm up to 10 miles a day. By the way, I also quit smoking cigarettes at the same time. I'd been smoking crack 10 yrs then went to ice (meth) for 20 years. I have to say I did enjoy it alot, I won't lie. Lots of women in my life screwed me up because I let them. I've accepted my faults and defeats, after all I created them, da... 2 years ago I put My girlfriend in a recovery program because I couldn't handle her anymore, she never came home and I had to work and take care of 3 kids. After she graduated from her program in Oakland, she moved to a halfway house with the 3 kids. THE KICKER... Then I found out she was solicting herself out of a church (FCC in Oakland), she had a black baby, then told me I can't see the kids anymore. I went nuts, bought a 44 Mag. and found myself in jail for stalking. Well charges were dropped, at a legal cost of $125,000 dollars. After a 45 days in jail, I got smart. Since then I've lost 65 lbs, stayed drug free, got a beautiful tan, teeth whitened, walk 10 miles a day, and play tennis 3 times a week. If I only had a job now...
