[beentheredonethatagain]

I thought swim would like to tell about his getting clean , staying clean, and getting loaded.

If you have a story about recovery and or relapse , please share as it could be helpful to swim or others who have Beentheredonethatagain


swim had started to drink beer from the refrigerator at home, then sneaking shots of tequila from the bottle on the kitchen table.
little by little he was getting to like the buzz.
pot was the next on the todo list, lsd found a spot on the list a few times.
swim would seek out with passion new drugs to add to the growing list.
meth and coke came in and they set up shop, as they were the king and queen. slowly swim was a junkie who lived in a cold dark stinky house , because the bills were trash and the drugs were a necessity.

Alcohol made the times better until more drugs could be had.
this went on for years and then some.

then swim met a new girl who was spun and they were a match
until she went to a recovery house, pregnant with my child, my first kid.
she made it clear that if swim was to be in their lives that he would too have to kick.

june 25 1999 was the start of a drug free life

I was cool until she died in car accident then life as a single parent got harder, so naturally swim got a new girlfriend and then married.

December 2005 while in Jamaica swim smoked the pineapple skunk and lambs breath and it was the rebirth of addiction, swim made meth a welcomed guest, the wife set the two of them swim and meth on the curb for the sanitation truck.

today things are in a messed up state, as swim was high on pot he fell off a ladder from 14 feet while working. ouch the feet has a lot of bones that break easy. maybe pot is a drug that should be left to the youths of the world, i will load up bowel for swim as we think things thru.
