This was my rock bottom

I successfully turned my life around by getting clean, moving to Europe, graduating college, and becoming a homeowner. However, I became complacent and relapsed, causing my wife to divorce me and forcing me to lose my house and pets. This experience has been a wake-up call for me, pushing me to stay clean and make a comeback. I want to share my story, strength, and hope in the hopes that it will inspire at least one addict to get clean.

I wish I could draw how I feel. I want to know what it looks like. I get it. I struggle with trying to express the way I feel too.

That’s really why I try and remember how bad it was, I mean I was in rehab and said it’s not that bad lol. My house manager said to me “really, look where you are” that was the day I realized I needed to open my eyes. Remembering the pain helps and knowing I have to go to meetings to remind myself that I’m sick.
