Life after addiction
Five years ago I entered a long term rehabilitation program; my life was a mess and I never though it possible that years later I would be happy and healthy or even still alive. When my family drove me 14 hours away from home and dropped me off I thought they were just throwing away their money. They dropped me off in the middle of winter in a place I did not know and had no way of leaving. Yes they forced me to complete the program or live in the streets; they were not giving me a way out of it. It was their style of an intervention.
Today I am a productive and active part of society; the long term program that I went through taught me how to handle life. It taught me how to live in the present and not get lost in my past. It taught me that no matter what I had done in my past it did not have to control what I would do in the future. I owe my life to that program and to the caring people that stuck by me through those horrible years of addiction.
The past is history, the future is a mystery. Living in the moment is a gift; that’s why they call it the “present”.
