Out of the Madness
Even a loving husband and father with a great family can find himself ensnared by addiction and I am a living example that it doesn’t discriminate. I could use multiple excuses for the things I did. I was adopted. I was abused physically, racially, verbally and s*xually. I was diagnosed as bi-polar. I suffered wounding bereavements, I had an inferiority complex and I could have blamed my circle of friends, but ultimately it all came down to fear and survival. I don't know if I was born an addict but I do know that I am an addict. After 33 years of using, I hit what I thought was rock bottom several times, only to find new depths to sink to. I was bankrupt: emotionally, physically and financially. My self-destructive behaviour, dishonesty, selfishness and irritability made my life unmanageable, but eventually led me to recovery. Acceptance is the answer to all of my problems today. It was scary for me to ask for help, but in all honesty it was more scarier to continue to do what I was doing. I find that it helps enormously to talk about my addiction and subsequent recovery and my philosophy is that If I can spare even one person from going down the path I did, then everything I do will be worth it. If I could do this I know anyone can too. Once you accept you have a problem, that's your first step to a new way of life free from drinking and using. It's empowering to know and see what I have accomplished. I now work as a speaker and I intend to spend the rest of my life helping others to overcome, survive and ultimately thrive.
