I was in despair. All my
friends and family had
given up on me.
Partying was no longer fun and I couldn't get high enough for the pain to disappear. Suicide, institutions or recovery were my only options. I chose recovery. That's right,
I chose it. This decision opened up doors
I had never imagined. Defining this new person has been an exciting and challenging journey. Looking back and dealing with the old identity is necessary and sometimes difficult. There is a certain amount of respect needed when discussing her. In my heart there is a place for her. I protect her and shield her so I can refer to her when needed. With the help of my program, I now am a new person. Now when someone requests her presence I can say with dignity that, "Alice doesn't live here anymore."
