and fall asleep every night knowing the addiction
I have endured will have diedMichael Turner -
I’m very transparent about what I’ve endured in life and the obstacles that I’ve overcome. I’m not ashamed of it. Everything that I’ve been through in life prepared me for who I am today and who I’m going to be.

There’s a lot of freedom in knowing that I can get up, function and get through my day without having to rely on having something or enough of something to be able to make it through the day. That, to me, is true freedom, and I am thankful for it every single day. We do recover.

I was really resistant at first, not listening to anything or trying anything another way, but I have acceptance today. I have worked on my anger issues. I’m more responsible today. I am active in all the programs I’m in. I feel like I’ve come a long way from nine months ago when I first got down here.

I just feel like anything you go through in addiction can be overcome with recovery. They always say that your best day in addiction is still worse than your worst day in recovery, because it’s still a bad day. And I had to forgive myself, I had to ask for forgiveness from others, but you can overcome it and everything does get better.
