I will be making this blog strictly about my recovery journey. This will be a form of therapy for me and might help someone else in the process. Thank you for your time.

Purpose
I'm starting this, as a open letter to anyone who has went through or is going through the things I have. I have struggled with various substances but pride and ego played just as much of a part in my struggles as those substances did. I was utterly hopeless, convinced that I was just trying to make it to my death, that I would never find a way out nor live a fulfilling life. I have found a way out, and I am on my way to hopefully living a life with purpose. I have kids, I brought them into a mess of a world and I am currently trying to get custody of them back, I have to prove I deserve them back everyday. I don't know that I am worthy of this, but I know that they deserve a dad that will fight for them, so that is what I am doing. I have a partner that is also in recovery, I'd like to think we are helping each other find a way out. We have the same goals, but we each are trying to achieve them in different ways. We both have chose to have a career in recovery, this was one of the no-brainer decisions I have made in my sobriety. Having lived in the madness, and made my way through it,(mainly because I didn't die and never gave up) I knew that sharing my experiences and how I made it through with other individuals with SUD was my purpose in life. I guess I can share a kind of timeline of my journey and how it all started, but I won't be able to cover that right now. While this post is free form, I want my story, my timeline to be succinct. This means that each point on that timeline will need ore attention than normal. The subject matter of course will be personal to me, but I like to think that if you take "me" out of it then anyone can read my journey and take something away from it that may help them in their own journey. At the very least I hope it is found to be entertaining. If anybody ever reads it that is, but I have rambled on for long enough I believe. I said all of that to say this, My name is Dj, I'm an addict, and this is my journey through the darkest point of my life.
