My Story…

Hey everybody, This is an uncomfortable request for me to make due to the shame and embarrassment of the position I have chose to be in. I've been using and abusing alcohol and drugs for the past 10 years. Throughout that time, I've put family and friends through pain, suffering, frustration, worry embarrassment and many negative situations. Near the end of my active addiction, I felt worthless, that life was no longer worth living. My daughter was loved and cared for and I was a burden to everyone who loved me most. The world no longer needed me and I no longer needed it. At the time, that state of mind rang true to me, but there was also a burning desire to regain control of my life and remember who I am destine to be and that I have purpose upon this earth. This desire led me to the decision of getting professional help. 14 months later, I now see my worth and my purpose and would like to bring about awareness and ask for your charity to help our lost brothers and sisters.
