About Me

My photo
My name is Courtney, and I am 25 years old. I am a proud mommy of three beautiful children ranging from the ages 9 to 3. For the past 8 years of my life, I had become heavily addicted to both pain pills and heroin. I lived in this world of denial, and such horrible guilt and shame. In 2009 I began my recovery process and had gone and completed a 30 day program followed by some outpatient, thinking I was good and I had this disease figured out but boy was I wrong. In august of 09 I had a relapse, and when I went back out, life became unmanageable and so insane that I lost everything. I lost trust I worked so hard to get back, I temporarily lost the rights to my children, and I lost all hope in believing life could be better. Since February of this year I have been enrolled in a 7 ½ month outpatient program. In doing so, I have so much more understanding and appreciation for life. By me doing this blog, and talking about my daily struggles and thoughts I hope to show people that with a little bit of work and a lot of effort, life can get better and the possibilities are endless.

ACCEPTANCE!... (ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS (THIRD ADDITION) PAGE 449)

ACCEPTANCE!...
Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation,
some fact of life which is unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept
that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is suppose to be at this
moment. Nothing absolutely "Nothing" happens in God's world by mistake.
Until I could accept my alcoholism (or drug addiction), I could not stay sober;
unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world, as on what
needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.
