Scott's Story

Scott is celebrating ONE YEAR OF SOBRIETY! ~~365 days.

 

365/24 hour periods of sobriety.

 

One year ago I checked myself into rehab.

I remain clean and sober today, because I remember what I was like one year ago yesterday, when I tried to kill myself.

As I was squeezing the trigger God wrapped his hand around mine and whispered to me " I'm not done with you yet".... true story. I was beaten, bruised and degraded by alcohol and drugs. I felt completely worthless. Felt this world and all in it would be a better place without the scummy drunk I'd become.

 

The disease had won.

 

Today life is amazing. I have purpose and strength. I have stellar people in my support group from brothers and sisters in sobriety to my family, to my church family... you all know who you are. I let God guide my thinking, living in his will, not mine. My focus is on helping those who need help.

Today God does for me what I can't do for myself. Today I'm happy. I tell my story because there is someone out there, someone still struggling with alcohol and/or drugs, that might find a little hope from my story.

I want them to know, I've been there, there is hope, it's not too late to regain your life. If you, or a loved one, is lost in this disease, struggling to go on, please listen...there is a way out, there is hope, don't give up.

Help is out there, seek it, reach for it with everything you have left in you. This disease wants you dead and it is relentless. Yes, I have one year clean and sober, but, that means nothing.... all I can focus on is today, one more 24 hour period of sobriety.
