About Me

ABOUT ME...I AM A RECOVERING COCAINE AND METH ADDICT. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS WHO HAVE FOUND A NEW WAY TO LIVE! ALL OF US HAVE DONE THINGS WHILE USING THAT CAUSE US TO CARRY SO MUCH PAIN INSIDE--FORGIVE YOURSELF AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS. I LOST MY FAMILY, HOME AND SON THROUGH MY ADDICTION. EVEN THEN I WAS IN DENIAL THAT I HAD A PROBLEM. IT TOOK OVER A YEAR TO EVEN BE ABLE TO FACE WHAT WAS GOING ON AROUND ME. AND NOW HAVING OVER 3 YEARS AND COUNTING OF COMPLETE SOBRIETY, IAM HONESTLY ABLE TO FACE WHAT I REALLY WAS, WHAT I PUT MY FAMILY THROUGH AND THE DAMAGE THAT I CAUSED THAT WAS NO ONE'S FAULT BUT MY OWN. FOR YEARS I WAS IN DENIAL, UNHAPPY, LONELY AND SCARED. BUT NOW I DO SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND I KNOW THAT IAM PUTTING MY LIFE BACK TOGETHER AND THAT I WILL ACHEIVE ALL THAT I HAVE EVER HOPED FOR BECAUSE GOD HAS GIVEN ME A SECOND CHANCE. I HAVE GIVEN MYSELF A SECOND CHANCE. AND I AM STRONGER THAN I EVER IMAGINED. I HAVENT WON THE WAR AGAINST THIS DISEASE OF ADDICTION, ITS A CONSCIENCE DECISION I MAKE EVERYDAY TO STAY CLEAN. SOMEDAYS ARE HARDER THAN OTHERS. BUT I AM TRULY HAPPY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS AND I "FEEL" DIFFERENT AND I LIKE WHO I AM AND WHERE I AM GOING. I AM LIVING A LIFE THAT I NEVER DREAMED WOULD BE POSSIBLE AND I HAVE PUT MY PAST BEHIND ME AND I HAVE SUCH HOPE FOR MY FUTURE. I HAVE PEACE WITHIN MY SPIRIT TODAY. I LAUGH ALL THE TIME! CHANGE YOUR LIFE, IT IS NEVER TO LATE! LIVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE ALWAYS IMAGINED! LIFE IS A GIFT, EMBRACE IT!!! This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
