Have Questions About Addiction? Ask an Addict!

hello family, i cant remember whens the last time ive been on but just checking in as well to let the members that know me and as well as the new members that March 3rd i will be celebrating 5 years. for those who remember me i was the son deep into my addiction that put my mom and step father through hell and back. through the years of recoverying i have made alot of accomplishments. got my licsense back, got a car, im now engaged. and I have a job working with Oxford House, Inc. for those who remember when i got out of rehab i moved into oxford house which is a sober living house and now i work for the company. i still remember the days when i had a horrible relationship with my parents especially my mom due to my addiction. she always had fear in her eyes that one of these days she was going to get that phone call that something happened. but as of today its truley a gift eveytime she see's me her eyes light up with joy and you can see she is living a better life without having to worry about me drinking or using. thats just some of the accomplishments i have gained. but its important to remember that it doesnt stop here. it must keep going with sucess and remaming clean and sober one day at a time. im proud of the man i have become today. which are gifts of recovery. i normally share around this time of year just to show that im living proof that recovery is possible. my experience and suggestion for anyone still in rehab or just geeting clean to get into an oxford house. between NA/AA as well as oxford house it saved my life as i continue to grow. im sorry im not able to get on the site as much but im happy to see that the site is growing more and more. i still remember when it first started. and for some reason if anyone you would like to get ahold of me just to talk or need additional information i can be reached either by email or phone. also for more information on oxfordhouse go to www.oxfordhouse.org  also i always end with this- "for those who are new or still struggling, keep your heads up its been down for way too long.

Thank you Hunter..It's hearing the successes that sustain me. It is hard work for sure..my son does not want to do the hard work. He has had so many opportunities..so much meaningful help..a lot of resources and yet each time he goes back to the life..I'm glad you made it out..
