But my disease is primary, Chronic Chronic conditions and symptoms are persistent or recurrent and are typically more difficult to treat. It goes back to my family.
But at this time, in a matter of two years or so, my parents aged about 10 [years]. Our marriage is suffering.
And for whatever reason, that was my God moment. And back on July 23, , is when my life transformed and I actually was in a state of willingness and surrendered and was willing to take direction, and that started me on my journey into recovery. Q: Do you still experience low moments, even as a person in recovery? How do you stay positive during those times? A: Well, yeah—and I think it brings up a really good point. When you get sober, it gives you the opportunity to actually deal with the issues at hand.
But then I remember to play the tape out. Especially when things get hard, I remind myself: You know what drinking or drugging does and where it takes you. Being able to see both sides of it is a very motivating factor. Q: You mentioned your relapse. People sometimes overlook that a recurrence of substance use is more the rule than the exception.
What was your experience with it? I can look back and identify all the things I did to achieve the life that I have, meaning working a program and living a life in recovery. I got distracted, lost sight. I stopped going to meetings, stopped working, stopped going to my program, stopped doing the steps, stopped being of service. I got distracted by success, money and things that did not keep me grounded. Again, my decision-making came into play, and guess where it took me? I used to always tell people, breaking down my story, that drinking and using was fun at first.
Once I started using again back in , —I had cross addictions, a gambling addiction and other things—I was in a dark place already. It was isolation drinking in the garage by myself, taking a bunch of Adderall, gambling and just being in this miserable state of existence. Within a month or two, I had suicidal ideations, drug-induced psychosis—a very, very dark place.
How much of that involves sharing your story or outreach? A: Something I love doing is just trying to connect with as many people as I possibly can, utilizing the TV shows and the [recognition] that comes from that for a greater good. Raising awareness. To see how many people are really struggling. I hold this very near and dear to my heart because not only do I struggle with the disease itself, but it impacts my family, a lot of my friends, and their friends and their friends.
