I'm a 26 year old recovering addict who has been clean since December 26, 2005. I first came into recovery at the age of 15 and after a few relapses, living on skid row, losing litterally everything except the clothes on my back, I knew that I couldn't continue the life I was living. There have been some events where I nearly died from overdoses and others that should have landed me in prison for a long time, but clearly my higher power had other plans for me. I'm now in my fifth year of recovery and I have just started my journey into the 12 Steps. I finally realised that clean time doesn't equal recovery and I want the peace and serenity that only the Steps can bring. Recovery has given me many gifts such as a healthy relationship with my wife, my higher power and most of all, myself.
Like
Going to meetings (both NA and AA), doing service in either of those fellowships, open-minded and honest people, music, cooking, reading, sports.
Dislike
Disrespect, manipulation, deception, dishonesty, and anyone who thinks recovery is a game. I have no time for people who meet the above criteria unless they have the desire to change and are taking action to do so.
Hey, just wanted to tell you that im very proud of you!!! You deserve the best that this world has to offer and you're working so hard to get that! You're an inspiration to my recovery and everyday you drive me to better myself!!
You made me realize that i needed help and you've been there for me every single time i was going through a rough time. You gave me love, compassion, understanding, power, some of the best friends i could have ever asked for and the most important thing you ever gave me, was a BEST FRIEND!
You are amazing, you've grown so much in the last couple of years, that it truly makes me happy to see such an amazing person finally get what they've been working so hard for.
I love you with all my heart and no matter what happens i will always be there for you.
