Shout out to Colicchie for doin real G s**t. Becoming a great father, becoming someone to inspire them and that they can look up to is not for the faint of heart. It takes lots of courage, perseverance, strength, motivation, and so much more. Keep shinin G.
I still remember throwing up bile from being dope sick, how I wouldn’t brush my teeth for days, every word that came out of my mouth was a lie, I would forget to eat, I wouldn’t shower for an entire week, I had no s*x drive, I was unemployable and couldn’t hold a job, not even a few days. Not a single person trusted me.. with anything, I went years without smiling or laughing, I always had a warrant out for my arrest, I stole anything I could, I was massively underweight, my teeth were yellow and my skin was grey. I was constantly going to jail, psych wards and rehabs.. this was my life.
Today is completely different.. I have so much to live for, so much to look forward to. I can’t neglect all the blessings that are staring me directly in the face. Today I get to watch my daughter grow up, I have the opportunity to be the father that I never had. I can be present, loving and understanding. I’ve had the privilege to do what I love for a living, traveling the country and meeting so many incredible people. I get to marry my best friend and start a life with my family. From vacations, creating memories, to buying a house.. the rewards have been incredible. People count on me today. Recovery has made me trustworthy, responsible and reliable. Every single aspect of my life has changed since I’ve gotten clean. Regardless of how many times I fell short, I kept trying. Recovery has opened doors for me that I never thought was possible before. I’m dead serious, I never believed that I would ever escape the horrors of addiction, but just for this moment I have.. and you can too ❤️
