A bunch of people have been instrumental in my sobriety. To name just one wouldn’t be fair. They know who they are. I have a great support system.
It’s been nice to gain a little bit of trust back from people. Before, you couldn’t trust me with anything. But now, if I say I’m going to be somewhere or do something, I’m going to do it.
Sharing my experiences with others helps. I've been talking to a group of adolescents at Recovery Resources. Some of them are too hardheaded. They think what happened to me won't happen to them, but I keep telling them if they keep doing what they're doing, they'll end up in prison one day. I may not get through to all of them, but if I can make one or two think a little more about the choices they're making, I'll have done my job.

One day a time. That’s how I have to look at this whole disease. So what if I only have one day? I just strung a bunch of them together to get to today.
