About Me

I came across this site just over a year ago. At the time I had high hopes. I was working at a sobriety center trying to help people. I met a wonderful person on here that inspired me, gave me hope, encouraged me. I was attending A.A. meetings trying to get myself back into it. I have been around A.A. for many years. Had some wonderful experiances, and was able to taste a life of sobriety. I was able to obtain a year of sobriety that was the best year of my life, but I decided to drink again and do drugs, and lost it all. Most of my life from the age of twelve, alcohol and drugs ran my life. I experianced tremendous pain because the years of abuse. Loss of family, wife, children and anything else that ever meant anything to me. A.A. helped me in many ways. It helped to point me in the direction of God, it gave me a family that I desperately needed, it taught me about love, and helped me to get honest about things that I couldn't do on my own. I later studied Christianity at a Christian based treatment center for a year where I was able to find God, and know him. I also learned a lot of other things that have helped me to cope with life. I learned to forgive myself, and to love myself and that I am a very worthy person that still deserves to be happy. I still never found 100% success, but I am much better than the person I used to be. I still struggle at times with addiction, emotional things like depression and daily things. I keep on searching for that one thing that will keep me sober for good. I don't ever want to give up on doing that. At present I feel that I'm entering a new chapter of my life. I have my own first apartment, and I'm taking on responsibilities that go along with that, like paying for T.V, phone, hydro and internet. Things I never in my life did legally. This is due to the help of a special freind that I met here who has helped me in so many ways. I just started to rent out a room I have in my apartment to a person I knew who has a three year old son. i decided to do this because I feel that God has brought this together. There are many opportunities in this to grow in many ways, and I feel that it is a blessing that will help all of us here. My one hope is that I can continue to grow spiritually, and to live the way God wants me to.

Interests

Not really sure about interest. Mostly I find recovery is my interest. Trying each day to grow, learn and live. I have worked as a chef, but now work under one, which has really been a major challenge to me. I'm interested in getting my life back in order, and finding happiness in it. I have a cat, my best freind, well one of them, and I enjoy company with him. I guess I'm trying to find some interest. Always been messed up, so I'm trying to find things of interest.
