Day81 days seem to be flying by, there seems to be absolutely no battle in staying clean anymore, its seems im more focused on doing what is right and doing a good job at work, I feel so good about who I have become, I have no worries about how I have lived today, only good thoughts of what I have accomplished. I still believe there is more for me to do, and I believe in a month or so I will have some things figured out, I believe a meeting should be held with recovered addicts speaking to those who have no idea what its like to be an addict, those who have family members or friends that are addicts that they want to see get clean, I don't know exactly how it would work yet but I think it is important that addicts come forward and tell there story to show how serious this problem really is, it effects everyone in the community, and I believe that if we put our knowledge together and come up with some real solutions instead of band aids we could not only save a lot of people in this town, but we could set the example for other towns to follow, my mind does not work small, I believe that if someone takes the first step others will follow, I don't care who it is that takes the step as long as someone does, if I feel it is in the right direction I will follow, but if somebody doesn't take that step soon I will, I feel there is no time to waste, and im not ok with helping just one person, I want to help them all, I want to find solutions that will spread across the nation saving addicts, but I cannot do it alone, I need others to come forward, people that are now living everyday lives but used to be addicts, tell your story and show others that it can be done, there are so many suffering, addicts, and the ones who love them, it seems that I am rambling so I will stop for the night, think about what you can do to help, James

ReplyDeleteWell said. I totally agree that we should be reaching out to those who have no idea what the dangers ect. are of being an addict. I began drinking when I was only 9years old. When one experiences with ANY type of additive substance at that age, the idea of becoming "addicted" seem rediculious. As we have found out, it REALLY does lead to the "sampling" of other drugs,legal and illegal. The so called "safe drugs"(prescribed by Doctors), can be just as dangerous as crack and meth. We are both in our early forties and the struggles are still being delt with on a daily basis. Our stories SHOULD be an example of what NOT to do. I will be interested to see where this path takes you.
