“FREEDOM IS POSSIBLE!”

A little about my story. I struggled for years with mental health and addiction issues. My addiction brought me to my knees. I had lost my job in a field I loved. I lost custody of my daughter, almost lost my home. I was emaciated and having major health issues all due to my addiction. I came to CA in a last stitch effort to live, as I knew I was going to die without help. I walked into CA to see smiling faces and laughter, both of which I hadn’t seen in so long. I took the suggestions. I got a home group, a sponsor and got active. I took the steps, and continue to practice the principles behind them. Today, thanks to CA, I have been given a life that I never could have imagined for myself. I'm back to the career I love, my daughter's home again and my family can finally sleep at night knowing that I am safe. I lead a productive life today, and I am finally happy. I no longer need drugs and alcohol to live or to do basic things. I am forever indebted to CA, and I owe my life the program and the fellowship.

“RECOVERY- WHAT A GIFT!”

My addiction left me completely bankrupt, physically, mentally and spiritually. I was a thief, a liar, and a manipulator, I used and abused everyone around me. I was violent and destructive. I was thinking about su***de every day and was hospitalized weekly for overdosing. Depression and isolation were normal on the daily.

I was very doubtful that a 12 step program could help me. I was broken and damaged and accepted my hopelessness as did others. I stepped into a CA meeting to see what the hype was all about, I also walked into those rooms for others, not for me, causing multiple relapses to follow. I had to change my thinking, my perspective on my life. I had to turn doubt to faith, my fear to courage, my hopelessness to patience and compassion. Others had the hope, courage, strength and faith, why not me? One day at a time I became willing to do whatever it took to heal; mentally, physically and spiritually. I came to realize, the drugs and alcohol were my solution to a “me” problem. I did not accept life the way It was. I got a sponsor who had what I wanted, I had guidance to relate to and work through the big book, I showed up to meetings and shared, I had to become honest with myself. I listened to what was suggested to me, followed by action. I am powerless and I began letting a power greater than myself take over what I couldn’t do.

Today I live one day at a time, asking for strength and guidance each morning, giving thanks in the evening, and being of service to others in between. I have my own nice apartment, my family’s support and love, connection to people inside and outside of the rooms, a higher power and a sponsor who guide me. Most of all today I have hope. I have peace. I am friendly, and others enjoy my company. My mental illness symptoms have reduced significantly. I smile often, I say yes to helping others, I am active in my community. I am able to go back to school, continue to learn and enjoy this life I have today that was so freely given to me. Recovery - What a Gift!
