My mother took this photo..
On the left I had just attempted su***de and overdosed.. I took 80 sleeping pills with a bottle of NyQuil.. with tons of liquor and an 8 ball of co***ne, along with a little bit of m**h..
For 11 years I was addicted to drugs and alcohol.

On the right I’m almost 7 months sober! 💙

If you would’ve told me back then that life will be better and that I would find happiness, I would’ve said you were lying.
Today, I’m clean and serene, and life is so beautiful. My daughter and I are rekindling our relationship. I’m rebuilding relationships that I’ve torn apart due to my addiction.

I have friends in recovery who I can call and they will be anywhere I need them to be in a heartbeat. Life is so great and I choose recovery these days.

The photo on the left was taken in 2014.
I was 79 pounds and just got out of the hospital after being on life support for a month. I was addicted to any and EVERY thing from buying lighters, gambling, organizing, to 90+ pills a day.

To the right is a picture of me today-happy, joyous, and free! ❤️‍🩹

No matter which hurt, hang-up or habit you may be struggling with, start with Principle 1:
"Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable."

My name is Michael. I’m a recovering addict. 3 days ago I was released after being incarcerated for 5 years. In the last 5 years I was able to achieve things I never imagined possible. I got my associates degree and I’m close to graduating with a bachelors. I’m a trained dog handler, professional horticulturalist and I was able to be the senior mentor in a substance abuse program. I found my biggest blessings from a tragic situation, through my incarceration and through recovery. You can overcome ANYTHING 💪🏼 get out there, work hard and help people. 🙏🏼

Hi my name is Amber and today I am 18 months clean and sober. 18 months since I was dying on the streets with a heart and lung infection and a crippling m**h and he**in addiction. My whole life I suffered trauma including abandonment from my entire family before I turned 18 years old. I suffered from r**e. I suffered from abuse. I’ve had guns held to my head. I’ve been held hostage. I would hitchhike just to keep moving. Until those last dark days of misery when I’d urinate and defecate in buckets, passing out on the sidewalk while people walked right by me. I would beg for help and get ignored. I don’t know why I’m alive today. I don’t know how I’ve survived, but I have. Today, I am happy and I have a new YouTube series planned and I’m finally ready to talk about. Thank God for recovery.

2 years ago today I was picked up by the Feds. As I was being transported I felt relieved to finally have it out of my hands. Obviously what I was doing wasn't taking me far in life and I needed fresh ideas and a fresh start. I was court ordered to rehab, which I never really would of done on my own. But it's what I needed. I took every opportunity to learn about my disease and myself.
After treatment I was released to probation back into the same town that was my living nightmare! I've been dealing with my legal issues while set and achieving goals. I've got my own place, my licenses back, a vehicle, full time employment and the willingness to lend my heart and mind to any person who may need it.
This past year hasn't been easy, by no means. I've learned a humbling lesson of acceptance and that life on life's terms is more then just what occurs in my, but also what occurs in the lives of others.
I am so grateful for a clear mind so that I may have the ability to listen within. My higher power and my tribe of recovering addicts never leave me to struggle alone. NA has delivered on the promise of freedom from active addiction. For as long as I never put a substance back into my body I will forever reap a wholesome life!
Today WE have 2 years y'all!! I never could have done this alone, EVER!!
I know a way out... don't be afraid to reach out for help if your struggling. There is a better way to live.
