When are you going to realize that all you're doing when using is masking the pain you feel inside. When I was in rehab they had a bunch of different exercises to do. My group of men had about 12 people. Each time they got us easing into being able to talk about our feelings as a group and it got easier each time. My or our councellor was a man also.
Do you know what? each and every one of us have been hardened by the life we were living but in that group you would have never known it. I told my story, they told theirs and we became a family. I loved those guys, I really did. I have not seen any of them for a long time now because we moved on but their always on my mind. The point is, REHAB IS NOT SCARY....
Go and find yourself again...please....
I asked my girlfriends family over for Thanksgiving dinner, our first, and its escalated to my family now and we're at 16 people and the funny thing is, i'm the cook!!!!!
I am so nervous but what a difference to where I was 3 yrs ago.
You can have this too. Sixty days is all you need to start a new life.
Sixty days of peace and quiet, no chaos.
What else do you need for me to say to convince you that you should go to a centre.
Ok as my drug councellor said to me,,,if you don't need to go then I will make an appoint. for you in two weeks and if you haven't used then you don't need to go. I'll give you the same test...for me I was already looking for the nearest payphone so I could make an order as soon as I left.
He put me in for a centre after our next meeting!!!
Give yourself and your family a reason to be thankful this year and take that step.
Ask me if you need some help and I promise I will do anything I can to help. I know if you're on the street that you probably won't be reading this but to the people that are, you must have people that you love that need help so ask....lets all join together and help the people that just need some help to get started... I believe in you, believe in them too.

A WISH OF RECOVERY
Hi there. Its been awhile hasn't it. I hope you have had enough of the addiction life and are thinking of doing something about it today.
Even today when I think about the turmoil and chaos of that life I get anxiety attacks. What a life we choose when in addiction. I can promise you that it is nothing like that in recovery. I use to spend so much time just trying to get high and when I was high I was a complete basket case. You know what I mean don't you. Do you know what? I know you're hurting inside, I know there is a pain for some reason or another that you are trying to ease. I know that you don't want to use drugs but they seem to take that pain away...or do they?
When you come down off of using for a time and you feel so emotional and sad of where you are in life, when you don't have a cent on you, you're hungry and tired and you feel so alone. Is that easing the pain? I would feel like that after every drug use. I was always so down even when I was using but I couldn't stop.
Do you feel like that? If you do you should find an addiction place and just make an appointment. It will cost you no more than a quarter and you might just save your life.
Go and tell someone that you want to go to rehab because you know as well as I do you can't do it alone. The government sponsors people and you could get the help you need.
I did and I want the same for you. Give your life over to these people for a short time and learn to live again without drugs or other mind altering crap. Won't you just do this one thing for yourself...please just give it a try. My life has changed so much since I did and I'm happy now.
If I had one wish to make I would wish it for all of you to find that inner strength and get help so that you can be the person that you want to be again, to find yourself and to be with your family and to live a normal life again.
Are there such things as wishes? There just might be if you make my wish come true!!!
I believe in you...
