Year's ago when I attempted to get clean and sober

Year's ago when I attempted to get clean and sober over and over again,I did it for the wrong reasons. I've made almost ever excuse to drink or use or in a lot of case's...both. I was mixing drug's for the ultimate high,always out drank people and made a lot of the same mistakes my parents made when I was young. When I say I lost everything to my addictions...I literally mean everything. I lost trust from other's, homeless 5 time's,I lost everything I've ever had,lost respect from other's and most of all...I lost my self love,self respect and I lost myself. When I got clean of each drug one by one then over 3 year's later the alcohol...I gained everything I never thought I'd ever have. I have a mentally and physically demanding dangerous job that I love,my own vehicle,a safe home on a safe quiet street. Barely anyone knows me here and I rather keep it that way. I'm proud of how far I've come and I know my Dad would be smiling down as well
