"Recovery is easy. All you have to do is change everything." -
Abby C.
LET GO OF OLD IDEASThere was never enough money for me to support my habit. I would
tell myself things like: buy ten, sell five of them, and you can
use for free! I want you to know that it never worked out that
way. I wound up using all ten. I would always have an excuse
handy for each and every situation. Lying was a way of life for
me. I did not consider it to be a terrible behavior. It was
simply a part of my personal survival kit. Most of my values were
lowered in order for me to justify using drugs. I worked hard all
week... I deserve a break. I missed many days from work due to
made up funerals. I can remember my boss at work saying, "most
people only have two grandmothers". I awoke one day hating the
person that my addiction had created. It was shared with me that
the same person would use again. I wanted do something different.
It was an addict that moved here from Canada that helped me to
start on my path to change. He said, "Just do one thing
differently every day, and in less than one year, your life will
take a 180 degree turn. That information helped me let go of old
ideas.
