Day #241
soon 8 months AF

[Tony1878]

Just a picture of myself and my eldest daughter Leah back in 1997,the frail,gaunt and haunted look on me is due to a heroin,methadone and you name it withdrawal,i had an absolute awful few months,i was very sick
My best friend overdosed,i was with him,we had the same amounts of gear but sadly he didnt wake up and i did,when death is that close to you you know you have to get things sorted out.
This was the beginning of my road to recovery and although i ended up with a drink problem for 20 years things have really started to be like they should be now.
The hard work was well worth it.

So sorry for your loss. Its scary when you realize that you are not invincible. I always thought nothing would get me. Grateful we are here in recovery and still alive to live another day.

Sometimes the only thing to smile about is being sober.
Life is definitely lifing over here but
“Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you“

[Cjp]
