I’m getting back on the wagon after relapsing after five years of sobriety. My dad died and that entire time I was smoking crack. I was justifying my actions by saying that I wasn’t using heroin. Since I was relapsing on my drug of choice I was ok. I was working in the recovery community as a peer advocate I was holding well at the job in the beginning.
But we all know how that goes the next thing I know I can’t get catch up on work I can’t get back into the swing of things because I was more worried about getting high. I would leave work to cop. I would cut engagements at the hospital to smoke crack in the car. My life went to shambles.
It took me some time to get my life back on track and get my self back to treatment. But now I’m back on track I’m back on the right path with almost five months of sobriety. I’m in treatment at the moment. I’m completing here on January 18th this is my new life.
