8 Months Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will be 8 months clean, going by my quit date on the lucky 13th lol. I have been here over 2 years now and was a chronic relapser and kept failing over and over in the past. For those that don't know me, I almost lost my life to drugs and feel lucky to be here today. My DOC is cocaine, but I have used many drugs from oxy's to alcohol to anything that got me high. I felt trapped, hopeless and angry. I tossed so much away in my life for the sake of drugs, but something happened. After my overdose and KNEW I was ready to finally surrender to dope, I felt HOPE for the first time in awhile and it gave me strength to fight to get my life back. I asked for help!

For those of you just starting out in recovery, please fight for this. It's a struggle and a lot of pain at first, but worth it to get our freedom back and be happy again. Drugs steal so much from us and make us feel hopeless, but that is the lie of addiction. Ty all for being a part of my recovery, I feel happy today and have never been able to say 8 months clean hehehehe. Congrats to everyone on their clean time, we will beat this together, one day at a time:)
