Dear I did it,
I used to be a bankrupt mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially after I hit rock bottom.
By the time I finally took my first baby step forward in recovery, that was in August 2005.
Since then, I have work hard to win back “Love” and “Trust” from my family.
I have bought a small place I called mine.
I have a job.
I have a stable income.
I have a small saving for old age.
I am more at peace with myself after so many years now.
I don’t feel so tormented and miserable when I fail, this is all a part and parcel of recovery. I just continue to march forward in baby steps during good times and bad.
There are many bad relapses along the way.
Add up all the baby steps forward after more than 12 years, I have travelled far, I never stand still.
I have not met any perfect recovery person. Addiction can hide inside a person and act out in other ways. All you need to do is watch the person ‘s behavior and temperament. If that person was perfect, he will be loving, caring, powerful and perfect like God.
