I am so lucky to be alive.

First time I used I was nine years old, sniffing glue. By the time I was 13 I was smoking hash and using Amphetamnies on a daily basis. At sixteen years old I was gone, I was using opiates and anything I laid my hands on. I died many times and came to in Hospitals between the ages of 16 and 25, spent 4 years in prison, was commited a few times and still carried on using. I stopped in 76, I was 25 years old and stayed drug free for 20 years and then relasped using Alcohol, and did it all again for another 11 years!

Today I am free from all of that and I live my life as best I can on a daily basis. I have many trials and tribulations but they are nothing compared to the hell I lived in for so long.

Thank you all for being here. Stay safe over this holiday period.

I love you and so does your Higher Power.

Kevin
