A LITTLE INSPIRATION Mood
Friday, July 10, 2009 | An Inspiring story

July 10, 2009 today is a special day for me.   Twenty Two years ago today I finally managed to wake up from my addictions and made the decision to stop killing myself with outside  substances and face reality as it truly is. I I'm not writing this to brag but only as an inspiration for those who are still out there struggling. I am simply trying to be an example for others who have the same addictive personality  as I do.

 

I do not  even pretend to be cured I have the good sense to know that I am an addict for life . The only difference is I have managed to become mentally strong enough to say no and turn my back on that lifestyle. I  had become a  menace to society and I can't count the number of lives I've helped to destroy including my own. I wish to be an example especially to those young people out there in the hope that maybe some of them will listen and not follow the path of destruction I was once on. 

 

 I cannot even begin to express how sorry I am for having been a part of such a destructive force. My only hope of redemption is to live my life as an example to those who truly want to get out. My heart goes out to all those who are still struggling to get out of their addictions. All I can say there is hope for you as long as you turn your back on those things and people that are pulling you down. Surround yourself with people who have a true purpose and goals to better themselves. Take care and learn to love yourself,  be well Rodney
