Lying and Avoidance Got Me Nowhere l True Stories of Addiction

Justin experimented and was dependent on various drugs well before his addiction started. When Justin got in trouble with the law at 18 years old, he had taken or was dependent on Ecstasy, Heroin, Acid, Special K, Marijuana, and Alcohol. In 2001, his parents ended up finally divorcing after 18 years of telling him they would. Justin moved to California with his mom when he was 21.
Justin has probably been to about 10 different rehabilitation centers. Justin has also been to jail or prison a few times. Each time he came out, he would use again. Sometimes he would experiment with other drugs while always combining it with alcohol.
Justin went to his last rehabilitation center, and he started having a spiritual awakening while at ABTRS. Justin’s spiritual awakening happened when he said to one of his sponsors, “I keep looking for a burning bush when I search for God. When really God was with me the whole time.”
With Justin’s accountability and becoming responsible for his past, he speaks of being at level 8 again. It’s the level he remembers he left rehab last time. This time is different. This time Justin prays, and he knows God sees his heart. Justin wants to move forward with his life, and he’s ready. Justin says, “A lot of things happened in my life that I could have avoided if I tried to get clean earlier. If I had tried instead of going through the motions. My advice to you – don’t waste ten years of your life as I did.”

Speak the truth always, it's going to set you free. You will only destroy yourself if you continue lying

This is not just a story of addiction and recovery, it's really an encouragement to folks in similar boats out there wondering if they could survive without drugs having depended on it for a long time. Your story is a big "YES". Thanks for sharing.
-
This is another illusion that addiction gives you. Avoidance? Escape? Etc but that is only temporary. When you wake up and sober your issues just add up!!! Stay away from this. Thanks for sharing your story.
-
Lies can't take anyone to a better place than a place of destruction and regret. Thank God you are able to retract yourself to the right path.
-
Lying can be so bad that it will lead to so many bad things like stealing and even addiction. Beware of lying.
-
Addiction is very bad when one is deep in it.
-
Lying generally is not a good thing and it destroys someone. Thank God you were able to overcome it all. Your story is an inspirational one.

Spill those guts like Seppuku! The truth comes out when we can be open and honest with ourself. Mahalo for sharing!

This is very inspiring. Accepting the reality of the condition or situation you are and deciding to make a u-turn, is what brings about the desired change. It is a good thing you decided to make the change.

I feel motivated and inspired by everything he said. Addiction is a lot to go through and it's great when someone gets through it.
-
It’s crazy how quickly we forget in recovery when we starting getting things back in our life and we feel a little better. Didn’t truly realize for awhile how important one day at a time is.

This is an inspirational story, I am very happy to hear it. Addiction is really a bad addiction, the sooner it is released, the better it is.
