My Tip of the Day response…. When you’re right you’re right. I tried quitting last year on my own by self medicating. It worked for months but slowly then surely I realized that I was right back where I used to be. This time I new I couldn’t do it on my own. By admitting to myself that I was powerless against my addiction i was able to understand and see where the path to my sobriety lay. July 13th I started on that path and checked myself into an in treatment rehab center. There I was given the tools, knowledge and support of my peers that I lacked when I first tried quitting. I never once felt scared heading there, walking in or during my first days. The first time I felt scared was when my graduation approached because I knew when I left there I was no longer going to be in that safe place. The time was coming to show and use the strength I gained as well as the knowledge of how to wield that strength. On July 29th I walked back out into the world after taking my life back and now I’m prepared and equipped to fight to keep it. All of this strength and positivity are the result of that one moment I was able to admit to myself that I was powerless.
