I am living proof that there is life after addiction. Five years ago all I had in my life was pain, lose, depression, and heartache. I was at the end of a very long and painful journey of drugs, hopelessness, not having a vision for the future. Having to use drugs to stay "normal" or keeping the drugs up in my system, so I did'nt feel the pain of physical and mental withdrawals. This was a horrible existance, to say the least. I tried to stop on my own, but I did'nt last long. Every time I tried to quite on my own and failed , that made me feel worst about myself. Feeling like a failure , I went futher into guilt and depression. It was a vicious cycle, that nearly ended my life. My family got involved , they found out that I was using more drugs than they ever imagined . They got concerned and started looking into getting help for me. At that point I did'nt really care if I lived or died, all I wanted is for the pain of all the mess I had created to go away. My family found a rehab that was non-traditiional , they did'nt treat addiction to drugs with another drug. I went to this rehab with little to no hope. After I was there just for a day it started changing the way I looked at my addiction. By two weeks I was beginning to feel normal without the drugs and on completing the program I was on top of the world. I can live a good life , not chained to drugs of any kind. I am living proof that recovery is possible !!!!!! There is life after addiction.................................
