It started with suffering from Migraine Headaches, the doctors prescribed me vicodin to ease the pain, and eventually it turned into full blown addiction which lasted for 20 years and it cost me everything, my finances and my 29 year marriage. |

I got into a serious car accident while on pain killers and xanax almost killing my daughter who was the passenger, and then my wife asked for a divorce. She was done with it all, sick of me and my disease. |

I went to a detox center and immediately attended 90 AA and NA meetings, I live on a routine schedule that consists of prayer in morning, meditations, work, meetings, reading, journal writing. I have obtained 9 months of clean time. I also now live alone as my disease caused my marriage to decay. But I know that living in a pitty pot is a waste of time as no one wants to hear you cry. I act upon things and work my program to the best of my ability and I am a more kinder person, I dress nice, I love to help people which I never did before and I pray all the time. |

Life is so much better being clean. Its so nice to wake up with a clear mind and I do not feel rotten. I just would like to say that if I can do it, just about any addict can do the same. Go to meetings, at first its all a bunch of jumble, but after a month your mind starts to absorb what people are saying to you at meetings and before you know it, you share and help someone else.. I just live my life one moment at a time, thats all we can do, forget yesterday, it already happened, just live today, tommorow is a long ways away.. Live life, its ours to take.. |
