I Am a Recovering Drug Addict
I am a 28 year old recovering drug addict. I have been battling with crack cocaine sine 16. I have five beautiful children that are gifts from God and sadly but true have just grasped that I am a mother. I was introduced to the streets at the age of fifteen. By choice I chose to run the streets. I came from a some what normal family, just got caught up with the wrong crowd. I had my first child at 15 and by the time I found out i was pregnant with my second child I was hooked on drugs. 16 with two children and a horrible drug addiction was no sweet 16. By the grace of God I got clean while I was pregnant and gave birth to all healthy children. My mother is my guardian Angel and has took on my responsibilities of being a mother to my children. After years of in and out of jail and streets I have came to the decision it is time to grow up and get my act together. I had over a year clean and relapsed last Sept. I now have 60 days clean and Im fighting harder for my life than I have ever fought before. I have enrolled in college for substance abuse counseling. who best to counsel than an recovering addict. Having this is addiction is a life long disease and it is a everyday battle so Im taking every step I need to take to prevent another relapse. I pray for all the addicts that are struggling and loss. My advice is fall to your knees and let God pick u up and Guide you in your new journey to LIFE. God bless
