Survivor

My name is Sky. I am now 22 years old, and am coming up on 7 months clean and sober. I started drinking when I was 14, and was steadily increasing as the years went on. When I turned 18 I went full throttle. I was drinking and smoking pot. By the age of 21 I lost everything, and was doing drugs I swore I'd never do. My husband and I separated, I lost three jobs one right after the other, dropped out of school (which I had been on the Dean's Honors list for having a 3.9 GPA) and then, I lost my son. I walked into the ER one night with 4 gallons of alcohol in my system, and was told that if I kept drinking, it would kill me. They told me that my kidneys were failing and I wouldn't live much longer if I couldn't stop. I decided enough was enough and I wanted to stop, so I called a treatment center. They told me I was alcoholic enough and just to go to an AA meeting. I did just that. I have been in AA for nearly 7 months now, and my life has turned around. I'm re-enrolled in school, looking for work, have a home, and I'm getting my son back.

Recovery is the way to go.
It didn't give me my life back, but it gave me a NEW and BETTER life.
