First few years

My path is shady. I attended meetings, and tried and tried, but nothing could convince me to put anything down, not even myself. I knew I was helpless, so I accepted that. How long was I going to be helpless I never knew, and this scares me tremendously. I continued to use it all until I got exhausted, for one more time. This time, I remember that moment of fear. I walked away from using and drink shortly after that. See, I had been escaping my life out there, but this fear was bigger than any reason I could think of. It was very real. Years later I worked my steps slowly, giving little time to my program. By a miracle, the steps, meetings, and my sponsor, I am clean and happy today. I am blessed today.
