I've been in recovery since 2003 when I first learned about the 12 Steps.
The Steps work if they are worked. This I know for sure.
But the willingness to work the Steps, I have learned, is directly proportional to the pain of its necessity. In this way, relapse is a part of recovery. It drew me into my recovery by the pain of my active addiction.
I've never been to a rehab till now. It was only after countless relapses that I became exhausted enough to check myself into the DDB-EU TRC. And God made a way for me to do so.
That was exactly a year ago now.
I'm happy and thankful to report I've made some progress.
I've a safe space now. And a new family of friends who have found a new way of life without the use of drugs.
Thank You, God, and thank you everyone!
Recovery rocks exceedingly!

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.
I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When sorrow walked with me.
