Life Aint That Bad

I have been free from heroin for just over a year, and for people like Me who generally think life sucks, I'm here to tell You it's really not that bad once You get the monkey off your back.! slowly but surelly life does get better, and the things that used to mess Me up and fuel My addiction hold no power on Me anymore. I'm not leaning on that monkey, I'm kick'n a** and take'n names. (as we used to say in The Marine Corp) it seems I use alot of what I learned in The Corp to deal with this enemy of My soul. (heroin). anyway I just want to share with others if This once down and out junkie can do this then anybody can. thats not to say I'll ever be thisclose to using again, but as long as I continue to focus on recovery My chances of staying clean are much better. I look forward to reading how other people are dealing with their addiction.
