I grew up in a world where we struggled to get by. Everyone worked hard because they had to. We had what we needed just about. It was devoid of emotional understanding and filled with violence and chaos. My teenage years and early twenties were the same. I was doing well with my career, had the relationship and the car. I was miserable and i lost everything. This was the pattern. Build and destroy. Addicted to alcohol and drugs since i was teeneager i was empty inside. Full of rage and confusion. I knew there had to be something more Breaking point came at around 31. The substances were killing me and i was desperately looking for a way to stop and live a happy life. I was spiritually dead, physically falling apart and emotionally confused. I didn’t want to die and i had to do something I started going to 12 step meetings and started my spiritual journey. Using prayer and meditation. Life has not been easier since getting clean. Facing and integrating parts of myself that have been ignored for years was terrifying and confronting. What has kept me going throughout this process have been the moments of connection with the divine. Reassuring me that I'm on the right path. There is a purpose to this. I’m not alone After being clean for 3 and a half years i had what was described as a mental breakdown. My father had died suddenly. My relationship was over and i was homeless. I began hearing voices and was taken into a mental institution for my own safety. I found the strength to remain clean throughout this period and found inner strength i didn’t know i had After being diagnosed with psychosis and being heavily medicated, which did not help, I cracked and started drinking and taking drugs again. After several months of this, the using was getting worse and it culminated in an accidental overdose. I died. My heart stopped and i left my body and returned home. This was the moment when everything changed. I understood that we never die and simply return home. Back to source. I experienced love and bliss unlike anything i had ever felt. After being in this place for some time I was presented with a choice. Do you want to stay or go back. There was no judgment. I couldn’t go out like this and i chose to come back. I returned to by body and I haven't used a substance since
