What My Addictions Were..

You know that I've been trying to tell you some of the things I do as a program of recovery but I never got into what my addictions were. I'm actually working on my personal story to post but until then this is just a very brief description of my situations. I began with pot and alcohol while in high school. After graduating I started experimenting with all the other things. first i tried some coke which was awesome but then I found crank (meth) which was cheaper and lasted much longer. Used this for years until I ended up switching to coke. This became my drug of choice. For years it was a weekend thing but as time went on it became daily and got much more involved. All during this time I also tried all the other things such as, all kinds of pills, acid, heroin, crack, and pretty much anything that was new but I always ended back with the cocaine. Once the coke started getting crappy I went to the crack and was pretty much addicted instantly. I would do it every day, all day. Finally started to have to deal it to support my own habit only becoming my own best customer. Pretty much lost everything I had except my house, and had credit card bills that were all maxed out and were astronomical. This is when I went to my first rehab. I learned a lot about myself and thought I was cured but I was only fooling myself. About a month or so late i ended up going back to the way I was. I lost a great paying job by quitting just to save face and two weeks later, that's when I got busted. Spent 2 weeks in jail and was sentenced to 18 months probation. Well once again I thought I was above evrything and started using the crack again right back where I left off. Had 3 hot piss tests but I ran away to another rehab so I didn't have to go to jail but after being home only a month I got nailed with another hot and off to jail I went. This time I was re-sentenced to 5 to 23 months in jail. Got out after about 100 days because I had some time already served but this is where I realized my life had to change. I really fucking hate being locked up and that pretty much brings us to the present. It's not easy but I've found that my life is WAY better this way than the other life I had. Like I've said before, I'm pretty young in my sobriety and clean time but my life has much more meaning. On the 24th of July I and will actually celebrate 6 months of total abstinence and have no intentions of looking back. So for now, as i stated, this is just a brief history of my downward spiral into addiction. I hope that if you are interested you will read my story when it's complete. I will let everyone know when it's done. Until next post may everyone have a clean a and sober life
