i want to get to know you "tell me a secret that no one else knows"

I'll share a secret with you all because I'm over all that now and I'm a better person for having made it through... I was probably one of the worst junkies around for about four years, due in part to being a recreational user and then my sister being murdered - all I wanted to do was get high and destroy myself. I really should have been dead a couple of times over, but somehow I managed to survive. I then lost my Father to Cancer and that was the beginning of my recovery. I took all my pain and his and used it as my inspiration to clean myself up and make the most of the rest of my life. That recovery was nearly four years ago and I've been clean and sober ever since. I am in a serious relationship with a beautiful woman, Meg, and I have worked my way up from being a Waiter two years ago, to Restaurant Manager in a fine dining room. Everyday is a beautiful little miracle and I know my Dad and my Sister are looking over me with pride and with joy. I guess I just wanted to share my story because I'm not ashamed to admit what Ive been through anymore. And maybe someone who's hurting might read this and realise that any obstacles and hurts can be overcome, even though it may not seem like it at the time. Peace and love. Belief is all.

D00d congratz on being clean and sober for so long. Addiction is hard to overcome, and being able to get through all that is amazing. Really inspirational.
