Today WE celebrate 12 years CLEAN From active addiction 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
•
The first pic is in 1995 at 17yo when I thought it was fun
The 2nd pic is turning myself in to the palm beach county jail in Florida when I was 2 years clean (I was on the run for 9 years lol)
•
It was Nov 4th, 2011 that I made the decision to get clean
Drugs had taken over my life
I had been shooting heroin over 16yrs
10+yrs on methadone
And every other drug
18 felonies, twice as many arrests
•
Yet the consequences never seemed to make me want to stop
I was hollow, my spirit was gone
There was a big hole in my soul that I couldn’t fill
Yet there was a lil glimmer of hope!
I had seen a few people I know, get clean and have wonderful lives!
•
I reached out to them. Did exactly what they told me to do. And one day at a time, I saw a change!
I didn’t get my life back. I didn’t want that life
I got a new life!!!
Through Narcotics Anonymous
I got a new lease on life
I found JOY
I was no longer angry
I was no longer a victim
•
I am accountable
I am grateful
I am loving
I am present
•
I share my clean date and story not to brag, but in the hopes that one person struggling with addiction sees this, and finds hope 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I don’t get stressed
•
I don’t get overwhelmed
•
I don’t get nervous
•
•
•
Those are just other words disguised as FEAR
•
Once you real 👀 you become how you talk to yourself
Things start happening
The quality of your life
Is the quality of your relationships
•

•
When opportunity presents itself, just say YES!!!
Grateful to be a part of something bigger than me
