i am 33 years old, I have been in recovery for about 2 1/2 years now. What and who I was before really doesn't matter too much. What matters now is that I am a grateful recovering addict living and working a program of recovery to the best of my ability. What I was addicted to doesn't matter either if you had it I wanted it and more of it. I have been obsessed with sex, drugs, of all kinds relationships, food, my weight, give me something outside of myself I'll become obsessive and compulsive about it.
Today, however, I am learning to be happy with who I am. I don't have to ever use again no matter what. I know that I have gotten so many gifts in recovery today that I could never imagined possible. I get to enjoy a greater sense of peace today, thanks to my higher power and my support group.
I have been so busy lately working with others and expanding my horizons. Life on lifes terms has brought on a whole new meaning this summer. I have so much going on that keeping up on here is difficult. I get the wonderful experience of starting college Fall quarter when I haven't been in school in over 18 years. I am moving and to top it off I have a pregnant rottweiler Life is amazing but full today thnks to a program of recovery and a power greater than myself allowing me to be of service to others. Give yourself a chance and if I haven't said it before and no one else has told you yet today let me be the first I love you all stick around a little while and you will learn to love yourselves!
