@ Avisg and Going to make it~~~ My story is anyone story~~ Those who came before me and and carved out some truths we need to accept about addiction, and how to get clean~~~~ And those on the path of honesty today staying clean Jest For Today~ And our future FLAME carriers that will continue to carry the message to the still suffering addict The ones clean, the ones Trying to get clean and the ones Still using and haven't found a better way
That no addict seeking recovery need ever die of this disease~~~ Much Love
Thanks for sharing your story. It is nice to know that one can live life and remain clean.
....Last night at a speaker meeting I listened to a woman share who's recovery date was 1974... Wow, Her message was simple and easily understood.
Thats kinda how I roll. I've been around long enough that if it was my passion I could recite the Basic Text of NA.....It's not. Yet I love NA~~
Life on life's terms---- The world didn't stop, for me to get clean. People kept living their lives while I was begining to map out what mine was going to look like.......
....Needless to say, left to my imagination of a good life??? I sold myself short. The life that I claim today is FAR from the shortcommings of my earlier days of dreaming.
My recovery is more like dis-covery of ones self, full of twist and turns hardships and glory from the mountaintops. I try to keep my recovery fresh~ Thats how I roll.
Congrats to all you guys living clean today~~ Keep it simple!!!! Keep it real!!!! Keep it fresh!!!~~~ My clean date is January 21 1985~~ I have a sponsor, I have a home group, I have a support system, and I have you guys~~~Debra W. I am a addict
