Let me tell you my story. (Azure Acres Alumni)
It all started after high school; I was introduced to meth. One day I was at a party and not being a drinker, I had a few drinks, caught a buzz and I saw some friends snorting lines off a mirror. Well, I got interested and decided, "What the Hell, I'll do one." That first line was so good to me. I could talk to anyone, and for a long time. I was hooked. From then on, my life was in the hands of meth. I was pretty much a functioning addict; I could work and socialize, but I couldn't hold a relationship together. I didn't want to be around myself. No wonder my partners got sick of me. Twenty three years later, I hit rock bottom. I'd been separated on and off with my wife since I married her. She had three beautiful daughters, two at home. At first it wasn't too bad, we were both using. About one year later, she decided to quit. I decided to lie. Didn't really make for a very good relationship...I couldn't come home loaded. I would go gamble or just lie to her when I got home. This went on for seven years. Well guess what? She got tired of it. Could you blame her? The bottom fell out when my daughter went over to one of her friend's for a sleep over. Her friend's father asked my ten year old if she was "daddy's little girl". She responded with, "I don't have a father." That broke my heart. I threw away my pipes and flushed my drugs. I quit. I cried for about two weeks. That wasn't good enough for me, I knew I couldn't detox on my own. My wife and I decided I needed treatment, so we went on line and Azure Acres was our ultimate decision. Before I started the program I was unsure if it would even help me. I figured I was too far gone. What could they possibly offer me. I didn't think much. I already had a problem. When I arrived at the Acres, I was welcomed with open arms, from the staff and the residents. I knew I was in the right place. The lectures were very thorough and the groups tear-jerking. I was amazed at how people that didn't know each other could share their stories and be emotionally open at the same time. Twenty-eight complete strangers all being honest blew me away. The best thing about the program I think would be that the friendships I made with at least thirty five good hearted alcoholics and addicts going through the same thing as I. I came in without the knowledge of love or hope. I am leaving knowing that I love myself and that I have hope for my future being clean and sober. I'm not sure what my future holds for me at this time, but I know what my plan is. 90 in 90, keep it simple, stay connected, get a sponsor, and live life twenty four hours a day. I don't ever have to use or drink again. George P. |
