I was never going to stop drinking and drugging. I knew it and everyone else did too. A funny thing happened on the way to my early grave. After hitting rock bottom I had a moment of clarity and somehow wound up in a treatment program. For the past five and a half years I have been able to study both the success stories and the failures when it comes to staying clean and sober.
Life is pretty good today.
I have a business and some real good friends. I haven't had the urge to drink or use a drug since June 1st, 1994. Now if I was one of the worst alcohol and drug users out there, and I can stop, then you can too. While I am a firm believer in the 12 steps, and in treatment programs, I am by no means an expert in either. If you want to learn about the twelve steps I suggest you contact a 12 step group.
