My Sick ass is still alive....Still again I tried to use successfully and failed miserably. Got so bad back on the 30th of November, I decided to go back into treatment..Yet again,...was just to sick to make it a day without using.
Checked myself into one of the very well know behavioral health centers near Memphis. Stayed for 28 days....discharged on the 29th day...was filling my veins full of dope on the 30th. I was clean outside of a controlled environment only long enough to ride back to my home town, which is about an hr and a half, sleep for 3 hrs., then hunt dope for 4 hrs. So I made it for a Grand Total of 8hrs & 30 min. Even that is a miracle...It really is.
Found another bottom that I didn't know existed. Thought I had seen em all... I always return to exactly the same place Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally that I left...then pick right back up with the ever progression of DOWN... Nuff said about that....we all know what bottoms feel like. Hopefully this is my last I have to experience. Not gonna say I climbed out of this one...I did not. I had nothing left in me to even want to pull up out of this nosedive.
Grateful to be sitting here with 10 days clean!! But most Grateful for today.. Believe me... any feeling other than hopelessness... is only very recently acquired.
The day to day life of a now clean and recovering drug addict, who was hopelessly involved in active addiction for over 30 yrs. My journey into hell and how I made it out several times only to fall back again and again to following the strange, drug free journey of recovery. Your Comments are not only very welcomed but encouraged, as we all need to hear what the other addict has to share. That is my best chance at staying clean today. You are always welcomed here and thanks for coming,
