My name is Claudia an am 34 year old recovering alcoholic and addict. I started drinking at 10 and using at 13. I came to realize just 17 days ago that my life had become unmanageable and I have wasted over 20 years on drugs and alcohol! That is more than half my life. I have lied to and hurt everyone that has ever meant anything to me. I started using because I thought it was the "cool thing to do". Well let me tell you, it's not cool. I have been clean from heroin for almost 9 months, clean from crack cocain for a month, and alcohol for 17 days. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but it a road I am excited now to be traveling. And the best part is that I don't have to travel this road alone, and neither do you! I have some really great friens, a loving girlfriend and the most compassionate mother I could ask for. I count my blessings for these people every day! I have found my way into A.A. and N.A., I admit it was very scary walking into those groups by myself. I went to rehab for 8 days, which doesn't seen very long, but it was long enough to get my life on track! I was introduced to a new way of life, and with 17 days clean and sober, I am happier than I can every remember! This is just the beginning and it's still very difficult, but I know I can do this! I don't ever want to go back to living on the streets, hiding needles behind bar toilets and pan handling to by my dope! Selling everything I owned to by crack. It's time to change my life, and I have come to the point where I WANT SOBRIETY and I will do anything to get it! I hope that I can help those who need help, as people from this site, rehab, friends and family have helped me. Best of luck and all the love and support you need to stop! I am here for anyone who needs me! |
