I never thought recovery was a possibility for me. I have spent more than 25 years of my life dedicated to using heroin and fentanyl. Nothing else mattered. My life had no meaning to me. Most of our stories are all the same drugs, death, prison, pain, mental illness, abuse the list can go on. All of them things are a part of my story also. I'm lucky or I just feel that way because I get to add recovery to my list. When I was using if you told me I would be drug free one day I would have told you when I'm in the grave. I never had a plan to stop using drugs. Every time I got sober it was forced on me. Never my choice. Using drugs was my fairytale ending and all I wanted. Today is a different story. I have been drug free since 3/31/22. The day that changed my life and my thinking. The day I decided I didn't want to live like that anymore. I closed the doors on my past and opened doors for my future. I love me today. Recovery is possible.
