How did you become addicted?
  I made the decision to shoot up with my girlfriend, who was a longtime dilaudid user, and I was instantly hooked.
   
Your turning point? (What made you choose recovery?)
  Like most drug addicts, you hit bottom sooner or later. over the course of my addiction I managed to to lose everything, after being on a binge of dilaudid/cocaine for weeks. I was sitting in my girlfriends livingroom at 4am in the morning doing a hit. I looked over at a picture of my kids, who I hadn't seen in 2 yrs, That was when I ask god for help.
   
Tell us about your recovery.
  I decided that very day to leave, and get help. It was May 4 2002 I moved back home 1500 miles away, and went to detox on may 9,2002 voluntarily. I was there for three weeks, and then I went to a rehab clinic for three more weeks. I graduated on june 14, 2002. It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. But it was worth every minute of pain both physical, and menttal. Because today I am clean, and I am enjoying life to fullest with my children, and other family members. I cherish every moment of everyday, and I am so thankful to god everyday, and to all the people that have supported me in my recovery.
   
Your advice to others?
  You can beat your addiction, It is just a matter of taking that first step. Admitting you are a drug addict. Once you do this, then you can ask your family for help to get you to a rehab or detox center, where trained professionals will help you to better understand your addiction, and the behavioral changes needed to overcome your addiction. Remember always you are not alone, God is by your side wallking this path you.
