There's Hope in Recovery
I remember sitting in a pitch black room all alone,
feeling hopeless, unloved, lonely and full of shame, just waiting for the
dopeman to come in to shoot me up with my next fix of dope so I don’t have to
feel anymore. My disease had brought me to such a low that I didn’t want to be
bothered by anyone, didn’t care if it was night or day, I had lost my will to
live. I abandoned my three helpless children, my husband and my family. Living
in a dope house, nobody knew where I was and I didn’t care. This was one of the
rock bottoms of my disease when I got addicted to slamming dope.
My kids were 6 months, 2 ½ and 4 years old, they are now 7,8 and 11. I have fought to get the two younger ones back, but because of all the damage done, my oldest decided to stay with her father.
It is possible to get clean and fight for what you believe in, I’ve done it and learned a lot. I have friends today that I trust, that would never hurt me and a relationship with my children and my mother that is better than any fixthat I had when I was using.
Sincerely,
A Recovering Addict
