“Yes, it is incredibly hard work, but the rewards are beyond my wildest dreams. I have a life today that the child in me never even dared to dream about.”
“First, I was staying clean so I wouldn’t go to prison. Then I was staying clean so I wouldn’t lose my kids. Then, I started realizing I’m doing this for myself.”
“I loved that false sense of “happy” that opiates gave me. I did NOT love the frantic lifestyle that came with it.”
“I spent the first few months of my “recovery” waiting to die. I can’t explain how it came to pass that I’m sitting here typing this today. My best guess is that I’m simply lucky.”
“My story doesn’t end here, but the rest remains to be written. I don’t know what the future holds but I do know that I can look forward to my life now. I can cope with what comes and rejoice in the love that surrounds me.”
