Today is my birthday, I am 1. I was born on the 15/01/1989 but i was re-born on the 17/12/14.
That's when my new life began, that's the day i got clean from drink and drugs.
My whole life i always felt as though i didn't fit in anywhere, i always felt like an outcast, the black sheep of the family.
I turned to drugs at the age of 11, mainly just to fit in, or so i thought, but i got something from them that made me feel better.
By the time i was 14 i had turned to harder drugs, class A drugs, i absolutely loved the feeling i got from them.
I was 17 when i first really picked a drink up and i found what i was searching for, absolute annihilation.
The drink stopped my head from racing, but after a few years it just got too painful, i didn't want to carry on using but i had no choice, i just couldn't stop, so i decided to take my own life, when it didn't work i felt cheated because i wanted the pain to end.
I finally managed to get into a treatment center where i struggled to begin with but did a lot of work on myself.
My life is completely different today, i actually have one, it hasn't been easy but it's definitely been worth it.
I'm almost 27 but today i turned 1.
Thank goodness you failed you
Thank goodness you failed you can now go on to show others in the same place you were that there are people out there waiting to help, you just have to ask.
The third line sounds like
The third line sounds like something from the Jeremy Kyle excuse book about screwing up your life, and then the light comes on, and instead of a headlong race to oblivion, it then becomes a great story about nailing your demons once and for all, and getting his life back.
