one day away from 5 months
opiate addiction cost me everything. i would not, could not quit using until there was nothing left. i did not care if i lived or died. i was 100% convinced i would not survive and i was fine with that. my wife of 15 years could not take any more and wanted me out of our home. i could not look in the mirror and face myself because of the pain i had caused her and my 4 children. i left the job i had for 10 years. i entered treatment with nothing left. i had zero hope. that was 5 months ago. today i am sober. i have a new job. i'm able to financially support my family even though i am not at home. i have a car. i have a safe place to stay. my wife still does not want much to do with me but i can't blame her. she does not believe in me anymore. still, i am happy to be alive. i do enjoy doing my best to make one right decision after another. i am thankful for the chance to show my children how to fight back from the edge of darkness and death. today i have hope.
