6 years ago today I was in the midst of a horrible addiction to drugs. I felt worthless, unloved, and full of sorrow. The drugs didn’t take the pain away but rather exacerbated it. If you are or have ever been an addict you are very well aware of these feelings. I presumed these feelings would never dissipate.

Today I am 5 years and 3 months sober. The sadness inside is still there, but I am no longer the worthless, unloving, uncaring, selfish person I once was. I will never go back to that life. The drugs stole EVERYTHING from me. My life is worth more than that. I am stronger than I ever thought I could be. I’m so proud of myself.

If you’re struggling with addiction just know that life can get better. You just have to want to change. YOU and only YOU can save yourself. You are worth it. Your life is worth more than anything in this world. You’re stronger than you think ♥️

Under the bridge downtown

I could not get enough

Under the bridge downtown

Forgot about my love

Under the bridge downtown

I gave my life away

I don’t ever wanna feel

Like I did that day

Take me to the place I love

Take me all the way
