This December, I made 3 years sober. From the moment I rise I have to be on point. This disease is very serious, and all its takes is one wrong choice, and I’ll be right back where I started. For me, it took a long time to get the message and I really don’t think I will be where I am today without this help. For me one of my goals is to eventually come off methadone, complete the program, continue with sobriety, and live the rest of my life as God and my loved ones wanted me to. I can say it is getting better, and I want to tell whoever may read this that a place like START do work…I can say that of all the time I have been at START this is the only time I do not miss a group… the important thing is to keep coming somewhere down the line the person may hear that one thing which would change his or her life.
