The Best Experience One Can Have—Starting a Drug-Free Life

Starting a drug-free life is one of the best experiences one can have. I call it a gift from myself to myself, since I started to get to know myself and everything around me like never before.

While I was addicted to drugs I couldn’t perceive reality the way it was. I felt like I lost who I was and I was always blaming others for my failures. It’s like I wanted to escape from my responsibilities and from everything that was happening around me.

Now that I have started a drug-free life, life itself has changed for me. I’ve never felt so much confidence, so much happiness and trust. Every day I have new realisations about who I really am, and have different views about life itself. But more so, my views have changed about the past and things that once used to affect me so much. Now I am finally able to look upon them and they no longer hold any attachment. I feel like I have this understanding about why everything happened the way it did, and I forgive and can let go of anything. I believe there is a beautiful journey waiting for me, and surprisingly, I don’t even get to think about it because I am fully enjoying every single moment like never before.

Being fully aware of my present moment and my surroundings have made me a stronger person. I’ve found myself in a place where I can correctly judge all circumstances around me and make the best decisions for myself. I am able to make my family and beloved ones proud of my wins and gains that I am receiving during this program, but more so for the life that is waiting for me.
