Becoming a heroin addict/drug addict. I didn’t touch any hard drugs until age 25. I was probably the last person you’d imagine that would ever touch heroin.
Nobody plans to be an addict quite frankly.. I believe it’s something that is programmed in our DNA, environmental factors bring it to life.
I’m thankful to be in recovery but that doesn’t mean my addiction goes away. Life is much harder in recovery because you have to dig yourself out of the hole from your active addiction. You can make “plans” to rebuild your life but it’s much, much harder than you could ever imagine. I am coming up on a year almost for when I went to rehab, and in my plans; I should have a lot more than I do today. I will get it all back and then some eventually. However, what I do have? I have complete sobriety today and that is everything
