2,479 days since I stuck a needle in my arm. To those talking about God/Higher Power, kudos to you. Only way I've been able to stay dope free is because of just that; God. You put God first in your life no matter what the struggle, no matter what the reward. You can't lose. You won't lose. And after a while the 'refuse to lose' attitude becomes your new habit, your new way of life. And you won't lose. Keep God happy with your progress as a human, God rewards heavily for your efforts. Guys like me end up dead or locked up for life. 2,479 days ago I started putting God first in all my daily grind and God has provided and met all my needs. Not my wants, but my needs. And for that I try to stay humble and always remain grateful. One thing is all you have to do and a better way of life presents itself. I'm living proof. I have guys coming out of prison, fresh off the streets who have put God first in their lives. They're living a life they never thought they could live. And they love it. Yes we still have our struggles. Yes some of my guys go back in. Yes some of my guys go back to the streets. And yes all those guys end up coming back on their knees putting God first again because they lived the good life for a short time and they want it back. Some of my guys haven't gone back to prison or the streets and they're buying houses, cars, taking care of their family and holding down jobs. All because they keep God first.
