As some of you may know I am currently in hospital for my 10th admission and hopefully my last. Over the last 3 years I have struggled quite a lot with my mental health and addiction issues. As well as dealing with a eating disorder for 8 years, I’ve been through the wars and I’m going to come out of this better and stronger. Right now I need more love and support then I have ever had. Joining Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and finding a wonderful sponsor who will help me though every step of this proses. This was a massive step towards my recovery. I just want people to know it’s okay to not be okay. Being an addict does NOT make you a bad person and seeking help does not make you weak.
I’m doing this for myself and only myself, it’s my choice to get clean and live a normal life. Becoming a youth worker and hearing these kids story’s has inspired me so much to better my life so I can better theirs.
As 360 has said
“The worst part is that I tried battle it alone
So if your hearing this and your battling at home
Tell somebody because your family should know
I'm loving life now, I'm getting it back
If I can do this shit fucking anyone can
I can't remember cause I blacked out
But I wouldn't change a thing cause it made me who I am now.”
