37 days clean and 35 days smoke free.
Before active addiction took hold, I began to isolate from family and friends. I began to blame them believing they had abandoned me. Eventually, I started to avoid other addicts. My life narrowed to the point of sitting alone in my darkened basement using; lonely, afraid and wanting to die.
Today, I am picking up former hobbies such as piano and am enjoying activities with other recovering addicts. I have and want time for my family. I’ve even discovered many other pursuits that give me pleasure like ceramics. What a change from just 6 months ago! Enjoyment is returning to my life, truly a gift of recovery!
