I would like to say I am here becouse of You. I am sober from drugs amd alchol for 4 and half year and some days. It wasn’t easy but I made it. And I think a lot of people who start and want to quit this shit and wants it from a haeart will manage it. I was trying for years. I started as a teenager and been on drugs and alc for about 20 years. I ruined my carrer, I damaged my family and caused many harm to other people formy whole life. This one particular day and it was march 1 2019 I had worse day of my life. I realized how awful person I am and that I have nobody to ask for help. My wife left me with 2 sons. And the road ahead was straight to drinking till death.
I was first in my life in terror of this. The next day I searched first numer i found to addict therapist and asked for help. I was in my life on many therapies but i never was on it for myself. Always someone wanted me to go. Parents or wife and i never was truely motivated. I finished 1,5 year therapy. And joined AA and NA. I live with 12 step programm i get it from my AA sponsor.
My wife came back to me. I have a job, and we are trying to rebuilt our familly. My wife finished her therapy on codependancy. I can say today tahat I am happy person. Happyer than ever before.
It is wotrh to suffer at the beggining not always it is easy. I also have bad moments. But i would not exchanged my sobriety for any moment from my addicted life.
