I was a puppet on strings and the Drugs were the Puppet Master
I was a puppet on strings and the Drugs were the Puppet Master
All of this was going on almost nine years ago! I have been drug free for almost nine years!!! I didn't go to any drug rehab or any counseling to become clean! I became clean after 10 years of addictions of all types by many people praying for me and by my Jesus who guided me back into the light out of the darkness! I have slipped a few times and went out clubbing in the nine years of sobriety from drugs but I never have touched a drug again! I would love to say it was easy but becoming and staying clean was the hardest thing I have ever done! The drugs may be gone but the battle of the mind and dealing with all the woundings the life I lived had made was difficult! But every day was easier than the day before and before I knew it a year had passed then another and another! I'm not perfect and still have days I wonder how I will make it through but I am alive and free and have two beautiful children who look up to me and need me to be strong and courageous for them and I am!
I know what it is like to be so out of control and not know where you stop and the drugs began. You forgot who you really are because you have been so many different people and hustling all the time. Let me just say there is Hope and you can break free from the addictions that have bound you for so long! I did! You have a life outside of drugs and you are somebody who is loved and you do count and are not just some statistic in the world. Just grab tight to whatever support system you have and don't let go! And you will wake up one day five years later and still be free and be living a life you never thought possible free of addiction and full of love!!
