My First Days Out of Treatment

Jan 2009 "If I can do it, so can you!"

I was broken when I went into treatment for drug addiction. Now four and a half months later I have hope and willingness that I've never experienced before. I still have alot of hard work ahead of me but I am determined to stay clean and will go to any lengths to get there, like I did for the drugs. I can't fail if Im doing the right thing.

I was told to get to a meeting the day you get out and your chances are greater that you will remain clean the first year. So, I did. I also have a wonderful sponser who truly wants to help me and a homegroup. And even a network of people that want to help. Its awesome!! Im fortunate to even have another chance for a real life, not one that I just existed in, then to have friends in the program

that understand is the best thing that has even happened to me.

More later.....
