19 months of consecutive recovery form drugs
Tonight i officially Made 19 consecutive Months Clean from All Hard Drugs I've been fighting a long battle with severe clinical depression, bordering personality disorder traumatic memories, flashbacks, anxiety attacks, and night terrors etc since I was 14. In a desperate attempt to find solace, I turned to substance use drugs and sometimes alcohol to dull the pain and momentarily feel better. This has been my journey from 2017 to 2023 My world was turned upside down in Sept 2021 when I lost my son. I struggled to cope with the pain and turned to substance abuse and alcohol. This took a toll on my mental health, leading to multiple hospitalizations and stays in mental health housing. Despite the support, I continued to struggle and found myself homeless in 2022. I settled into a toxic living situation to avoid homelessness, but eventually found myself back on the streets, battered and struggling with addiction. Hitting rock bottom in 2023, I checked into a psychiatric ward and began to rebuild. With their care, I started to heal and even found a comfortable apartment near the hospital. November of 2023, I had a terrifying experience that could have ended in tragedy. I overdosed, lost consciousness, and was administered two doses of NARCAN to revive me. At the hospital, a nurse informed me that my drug levels were extremely high, putting me at risk of alcohol poisoning. What's more, I had arrived at the hospital by ambulance, alone, which sent me into an emotional spiral, making me realize just how close I came to losing my life to addiction. My journey with addiction has been long and challenging, but meeting my now ex boyfriend online marked a turning point. His concern for my well-being and faith in my ability to change inspired me to start my recovery journey in December 2023. Since December My journey towards healing and recovery has been challenging, but I'm proud to say that I've made tremendous progress. I've been living in my own townhouse for over a year now, and I've been clean from hard substances and sober from alcohol and self-harm for over 18 months. I'm committed to continuing this journey and finding healthier ways to cope with my emotions. The healing process has been a peculiar progression, filled with unexpected twists and turns. As I navigate the challenges of getting and staying clean and sober, I'm reminded of the importance of perseverance. Losing a child is one of the most painful experiences I've ever faced, but I continue to push forward, driven by my love for my angel son and my commitment to my own well-being.
