My Life in Recovery

Hey all,

It has definitely been awhile since I have posted anything.  I am going to start being more positive about everything and looking forward to my future instead of regretting all of the decisions I have made in my past.  I would like to explain my life in the last year.
I went from Grand Blanc, Michigan to Flint, Michigan to the New Path Sober House where I stayed for five days detoxing off of opiods and alcohol.  I went to Flint Odyssey House on January 16th and stayed until August 16th.
They were able to set for me a new structured schedule, a new way of living life without turning to the negativity because I could not cope with everyday stresses and disappointments.  I will be eleven months clean and sober in two days! With that being said, my sober date is Christmas Day and I will always remember that.
I gotta give a huge thank you to my Odyssey family and if you are reading this, thank you for everything you did for me.  I don't know how I can repay you back except to live the best life that I know how to.

Family Life

I currently stay with my mother in Utah and I am so happy to have a better relationship with her and the rest of my family.  I have a therapist I see every week and a trauma group I attend every week as well.  I have a regular care physician, a dentist and I plan on getting an eye exam soon.

Most of you already know that I had my first visit in almost 6 years with my oldest son Aiden, who will be 10 years old in April.  He was very nervous to come into our home as was I but I told him that I had some Pokemon gifts for Christmas and he came in and wanted to open it right away.  I bought him some Pokemon cards and D-Bird, who is the Pokemon who delivers all of the gifts to the other Pokemon.

I pray every night and I read my bible every night.  I attend church every week.  It helps knowing that the Lord will always be there for me and answer my prayers.

Thanks for reading and I promise to post again soon.
