I started drinking and drugging to get as f**ked up as possible! I ended up using just so i wouldnt have to feel! Both ways I was simply trying to change the way I felt! It wasnt until i finally realized drugs and alcohol were never going to fix the way i felt and only God and recovery could do that, that I was able to change. #PICKINGupthePEACEs #recoveryispossible
Everytime I let Despair creep in, it quickly followed by the immediate need to get high! It wasn't until I allowed Faith to intervene that things started to change. The despair came less and the hope came more.
From homelessness, death and complete darkness to a life I couldn't have dreamt up any better!
It was almost like I was addicted to shooting cocaine and meth but I had to use heroine. I wanted to feel the rush of the uppers as long as possible but then I had to come down on the heroine. I could not fathom coming down off the insane high of shooting or smoking cocaine and beginning to feel dope sick! It's the most insane and debilitating cycle in the history of mankind!
Some people have no idea the power of a team, group or fellowship in life, let alone when it comes to recovery! #recoveryispossible #gpMarine #PICKINGupthePEACEs
We all struggle and we all think the other person has it worse or better. We are not unique however we are all uniquely qualified to help someone else. There is strength in numbers and we can accomplish much more together than we alone! Johnny Schrey Cole Shiflet
Recovery isn't about being miserable and having no fun! It's the exact opposite, it's about creating a life where we can have more fun than we have ever had!
