Yesterday I hit four years sober from heroin!
from an abusive relationship to heroin addiction, to fentanyl. then, leaving that relationship but still falling back to heroin, to constant relapses for 2 and a half years.
having sepsis multiple times, needing surgery multiple times, thinking it was the end multiple times.
I thought I’d never escape this cycle.
at my lowest I was using heroin, meth, xanax, and drinking alcohol all at once.
I had no love or respect for myself.
But every time I heard a faint voice in my head telling me to try again, I did.
It led to relapse countless times, but eventually, it led to where I am today.
originally I was trying to get sober for other people, for my pets dependent on me. I didn’t want to abandon them or hurt others with my own actions. But eventually, I tried getting sober for me. and eventually, it worked.
My story isn’t special, this is what so many people are fighting with every single day. I got lucky, I survived.
If you’re in the same place I was, don’t ever give up on yourself, you’re never too far gone, it’s never too late to escape.
I’m officially at the age I don’t want to be around people who are not self aware. Continuously putting themselves in bad positions, making bad life choices, toxic ways/lifestyles, no priorities lacking accountability etc.
Just want everyone to know in my life that I live in New York now and would love visitors, especially from the following states: AL, AZ, AR, GA, ID, IA, KY, LA, MI, MS, MO, ND, OH, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, WV, WI, & WY.
Scans showed the fetus had a lot of defects. Under the new law doctors couldn’t terminate the pregnancy. Her water broke and even then they couldn’t do anything. They had to “wait for the baby to die” before taking it out. The woman died of septic shock. But pro life I guess.
