The Privileged Addict
Put a drug in front of me and I turn into a dumpster, consuming everything in sight. I can't stop. Nothing can stop me. Mom can't stop me. Doctors can't stop me. Pills can't stop me. Nothing human or man-made can stop me. I'm screwed. And yes I know it's wrong and I'll ruin everything, but I don't care. Even if I do care and I don't want to lose my wife, job, family, savings... I go get high anyway. That's how selfish I am. After 15 years of chronic addiction, I wanted to get better but couldn't. I had no power and no solution. Getting physically sober would just send me into a crippling depression. I wasn't okay with or without drugs until one night, up North, when I had a profound spiritual experience. I was equipped with a set of actions that saved my life and have brought untold miracles. I am recovered. I wrote this story to dispel the old cliché that people don't change. People do change. I am living proof.

Great work!!
I'm at meet all the time and here about the politics of AA. There are so many kids and adults dieting from this disease everyday that if a newcomer walks through the door the focus needs to go to them and let them know that there is a solution. Never heard of a a chapter. 2 meeting but I like it.
