I pretty much woke up one afternoon from an all night bender with the boozed and drugs and said, this is no place to live my life anymore. I had hit way worse bottoms, but they still weren't enough to make me realize that I was a person that cant drink. I just keep telling myself that you are accountable for your own actions, good and bad. I thought if I wanted to sell my life to someone, would it really be worth one buying. I want a life that is priceless, on my own terms of course. But I don't want some piece of junk. So like I said I just make plans to keep busy and I am off to a good start finally.

Through God and a 6 month rehab program and a relapse,I am clean and sober for 20 months today and that is the longest I have ever been clean before.
