My Life of Being Sober and Drug Free

Created by

My Life of Being Sober and Drug Free

I began struggling with my addictions during my young teen-age years. My addictions became worse after I graduated from high school. At the age of 18, I started having family struggles and attempted sucide on my 19th birthday. Thanks to my twin sister; she intervened on the suicide attempt and I was not successful. On September 23, 1986, I attended my first A.A./N.A. meeting. I found me a sponsor and have worked the 12 steps of the program and managed to stay sober and drug free for the past 26 1/2 years only through the GRACE OF GOD and living one day at a time. My choices of drinking and drugging throughout my high school career caused me to halter my college career; however, my recovery allowed me to regain my integrity and I managed to attain my college degree in May 2005. I was so proud of myself on that day. I never gave up on my dream of being the first child in my family to attain a college degree and I accomplished my goal at 38 years old with three children, married, and a full time job. Today, I'm a full time medical instructor with an EMT certification and totally enjoy my life living one day at a time totally happy and free. Living sober is a personal choice. I've been sober and drug free since the age of 19 (I'm 45, now) and was determined to live my life sober and drug free. Make the decision and choose to live a life fo sanity. It really does work...Try it!!!!
