Before I get into the centers I want to start support groups for recovering
addicts, alcoholics, excessive gamblers, people with mental illnesses, ex cons
and young people need help to find the road away from crime.
Why am I doing this? Read my book and you will not only see why but you will
help the project. I was a drunk. I stole money from my son?s Indian guide
popcorn sales for alcohol. I was a drunk for about 4 to 6 years. I really can?t
remember for sure (151 rum will play with your memory.)
I quit getting drunk when my second wife and I got together. I still drank but
only at parties. Even at parties I drank cola most of the time.
After number two and I broke up I ended up falling in love with women who were
addicts and/or alcoholics. I did use some weed but I did not like it. It just
made me tired. I never used crack or other illegal drugs.
I had a girl friend that would disappear and the dealers would come to me with
jewelry and I would pay for her drugs and get back her jewelry. She left me for
a dealer. I lived with an addict and bought her drugs to keep her out of
danger. During this time I began getting drunk again. After a year I quit
drinking completely.
I was homeless for a while and lived in a bar. The 151 rum used to call my name
but the urge to drink was gone. I also tended bar with no urge to drink. No
matter how bad things got I did not think about drinking.
On
I know have many friends who are addicts. I help them by being here if they
need someone to talk to. I also help them look inside and find themselves. I
give them reasons to love themselves more than their addiction. I build their self
esteem.
My success in quitting was an attitude change. I looked into my heart and found
that I was a pretty nice guy. I realized that nothing can ruin my day. No
matter how bad things get there is something good that is going to come out of
it. I do not worry about anything. I enjoy life and I love helping people.
Now you have an idea of who I am, why I am and what I am.
I still am thinking about an abandoned building that looks like a castle. It is
not big enough for the rehab center but it would me good for the support groups
and possibly a few rooms for an emergency place to stay for those who need it.
Until this comes I will look for facilities at churches in the area. I will
need help from recovering addicts and professional that can help the addict. I
will go to
I will try to go to the local prisons and youth detention facilities to help
these people go straight. When they get out I will help them find jobs.
Please take a look at the Addicts and Alcoholics Speak pages. These are all
true stories by those who lived them. Please take a look at them it may they
help you in your recovery. After finishing them please come back. If you want
to share your story please e-mail it to me.
I am not a PHD, MD or a social worker. I did not spend time in the classroom to
learn psychology. I spent 40 years studying people and life. The last 12 years
I spent time in the streets. I know people who are lost souls and I have helped
many of them.
There are no guarantees and there is no charge. I hope I can help you. I am not
a pro.
