"If it were not for all of you, I would be sitting here by
myself" - Eric the Tow Truck Driver
I CAN'T. WE CAN!“I can't, we can” was not easy for me to understand. I had always
used self-will to get through my life. The idea of joining a
fellowship was a foreign idea. I knew deep down I needed help. I
also felt hopeless. It was by attending meetings and listening
that a new idea was grafted. I heard I did not ever have to use
again. I was given phone numbers to call when I had urges to use.
I learned the obsession would pass. That is one addict helping
another in action. I can't. We can! That was my newfound truth.

"Detox in your sleep worked great until I woke up” - Jimmy D.
SURRENDER TO WINThe hardest thing for me to do was to ask for help. “I am okay,
just leave me alone” is what I told those that I loved. Then the
moment of clarity came, and I could no longer handle it. I
screamed out for help. It was over. I could no longer go on
living that way. The surrender process is still ongoing. Through
surrender, I broke the cycle of using and I began to feel some
relief. I learned that there are addicts staying clean. I showed
up at my first meeting not knowing what to expect. I thought if
they can stay clean, maybe I can too. I was shown how to
surrender to win.

and we cannot hold the rain any longer.” – Philippos
