Living Life After Meth

So far this month I found out I have Acute Decompensated Heart Failure that comes with a significantly reduced life expectancy due to irreparable damage. The day I was discharged from the hospital my grandma AND great aunt died. Two weeks later my husband was admitted to the hospital and almost went into a diabetic coma and we had no idea he had diabetes. After a week they discharged him and we have been trying to figure out just what the hell Living with type two diabetes is gonna be like on top of learning how to use all the equipment we know nothing about. Our lives have been flipped upside down and turned inside out and even in the heart of navigating the scariest, most unknown waters I’ve ever attempted, relapsing never crossed my mind. Escapism is NEVER the answer. Read that again.  Put your grown-up pants on, lace up your boots and plow through everything thrown at you regardless of how scared you are, regardless of how alone you feel and regardless of whether you know how to or not you, you just do it one step at a time. If you don’t know where to start or what the first move is then just put one foot in front of the other and go but make sure you’re going in the opposite direction of the past.

I am finally home from being in the hospital. Y’all please don’t take your body and vital organs for granted. We only get this one. If you’re still using your doing irreparable damage you can’t ever undo. Over the weekend I was diagnosed with and I’m in congestive heart failure and even if I take all this medication they gave me everyday for the rest of my life I was still only given 5 to 7 years because of the damage in the right quadrant of my heart caused by prolonged untreated high blood pressure. How do you even begin to process that information? Oh and the day I found out all of this grim news I also found out my grandma died. 💔

You must allow yourself to heal from trauma there’s no way around. You must talk about it and re-live it so you can lay it to rest. Don’t emotionally dump on people, that’s not fair or right. Stop faking your way through life. Lying to yourself and pretending you’re ok is just suppression which leads to escapism and we all know how you escape. It’s a vicious cycle built around the unhealthiest patterns of thinking so quit it! Whatever happened, feel it. Now deal with it so can you heal from it and be enabled to live in freedom!! If you don’t, you’ll forever be looking for ways to numb it and escape and the people in your life trying to help will get the brunt of your dysfunction. No more!!

Last Christmas Eve was the last time I would ever see my sister alive 💔 as you gather with the ones you hold closest to you tonight and tomorrow, take an extra minute or two to hold them as tight as you can and just love them whether they want it or not or even deserve it. Do it for those of us who no longer have that option.

This is my Christmas present from my 25 year old son who had a horrific early childhood because I chose drugs instead of being the mom he needed. Thank God for recovery. His trauma was short lived and I got full custody back on June 12, 2006. From that moment on I chose life over m**h continually proving that recovery works, abstinence is not barbaric but effective and you’re only one decision away from a completely different life. Don’t tell your family you love them, show them…

Don’t allow your mind to tell you your bored, that the simple life and it’s simple tasks are too monotonous for you. Don’t become complacent in your recovery because that’s when you take it for granted and start believing that you deserve to go have fun once in awhile. Once your mind starts down that road, very few are able to turn back. Remember every day is a gift, hell every breath is a gift that you get to experience clear headed and free and there is absolutely nothing boring or plain or monotonous about that!
