Speak Up

5 years ago I went into recovery. I had been a meth addict for over 20 years, that's a long time. Every happy memory I have over that 20 year period is shrouded in a swirl of smoke from a meth pipe, including my wedding day. I am now in the process of making new sober happy memories. I have so many things in my life right now to be thankful for, and I want to live, truly live life. I just graduated from college, and my husband and I have started the process to become foster parents to a child that was born addicted to meth. I am working at a counseling center that helps people deal with addiction in all its forms. Life is good and it's going to stay that way.
