"How come if drugs kill millions of brain cells, they never
killed the ones that made me want to use?" - Don N.
RELASPE IS NOT A REQUIREMENTMy clean date is December 25, 1981. I did not stop using on my
own. The city police arrested me, along with my disease. I was
tired, and although I did not enjoy being arrested, I did feel a
sense of relief. I was still under the influence, because once I
heard the police knocking on the door, I immediately used what I
had. I heard in a meeting a few months later: “when it is over,
it is over”. I feel blessed to have not relapsed since coming
into recovery. Maybe I am too scared, or maybe it is just over
for me. I was 27 years old when I stopped using drugs. I wanted
to quit using for long time. I made numerous attempts, only to
fall short. My relapses were all before I ever got to my first
meeting. It is true; follow these simple suggestions and you will
never have to use again.
"Justice that love gives is surrender. Justice that law gives is
punishment" - Mahatma Gandhi
