Journey to Recovery

Journey to Recovery

I disappeared from my family and friends three years ago because I was doing drugs. My family spent the past two years trying to get me to go to drug rehab. I told them I wasn’t ready and I wasn’t going and if I ever decided that I was ready, I’d let them know. I went through a lot of different changes. I got pregnant and still couldn’t quit. I decided that moving from my home town and leaving my connections was the answer. It worked for a while. I found a couple that was willing to do an open adoption. I had a son December 2007. Although I knew it was the right thing to do, I think it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. Deep down inside myself, I knew I still had some recovering to do. I was right. I went in and out of relapse. While I was doing so, I started thinking a lot about life. If I hadn’t done the things I’d done, I would maybe have a child of my own that I was raising myself. I would not have legal issues to handle that I hadn’t handled because I still wasn’t doing the right thing. I was on a five day binge and decided that I was tired of getting high. I wound up getting arrested and went back to my home town and spent time in jail handling my legal issues. I am now paying for what I did while I was in my drug addiction by serving a first offenders probation. While I was in jail, I talked My Journey To Recovery!

While I was in jail, I talked to my grandparents and told them that I was ready to get my life together and go to addiction treatment. I was tired of screwing up my life. However, I wanted to chose the rehab I went to. My mother had found a place called Narconon. When I got out of jail, I did some research and loved what I read about the program. I have been here for three months. I feel like this place has done a lot for me. I have no desire to go back out and get high anymore. I am ready to get my life back and build a future for myself. I feel like a whole new person! to my grandparents and told them that I was ready to get my life together and go to rehab. I was tired of screwing up my life.
