Saving My Life With Love

July 26, 2019

I often credit my drug dealer for saving my life – and he did by pointing me to the path to recovery.

But there is one person who saved my life with love.

I lost everything that night in December. My partner, my house, and many friends. My job would have been next had the series of events that is now in the past not occurred.

Addiction affects the whole family, and my partner is no exception. Despite the lies, the hurt, and the betrayal of trust, Jordan has remained by my side through it all. He may be of few words, and may not understand everything, but no one stands by with love and support just for the hell of it.

Everyday I thank my Higher Power for him.

Everyday I thank my Higher Power for a second chance at life with him.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
