This year (2008 ) I hit rock bottom. Now I am ready to finally kick start my life and get back in the swing of things.
I am going to share my struggles with addiction, mental and physical challenges, and experiences being homeless. I hope that someday I will achieve my dreams.
First, a bit about me. When I say I hit rock bottom I mean that. I lost everything I had going for me, and I can’t blame anybody else because it was my own dang fault!
My Children (who are 5, 3 and 4 months) are all either adopted out or living with other family members. I spent a good part of 2008 in jail for possession of meth, intent to sell and child endangerment. The chances of me getting any of my kids back is slim to none.
I have broken ties with both sets of my parents. Adoptive and biological. Both got sick of trying to rescue someone that just plain wasn’t ready to be rescued. Now, I wish I hadn’t pushed them away. I want so badly just to tell them I love them, I’m sorry and They were right and I was wrong.
I am now away from all my bad influences,trying to rebulid my life. I am living in a women’s shelter,attending meetings,taking classes online to finish my degree,managing my medications properly, and discovering the faith I though I had lost.
I hope someone reading this blog is helped through my struggles. But if not, at least I’m hoping to help keep myself on the right track.
my name is matthew corrie,
your blog has touched me in ways i never thought a blog really could. i was on meth only for a year. im 19 years old, and i hate to say it but i was addicted too. your story struck something in me. it seriously made me tear up… i am so sorry about the loss of your 3 children…but im glad you relized your life is important…if i could say one thing to you its just to show your kids that you are something when they are old enough to know who you are…i will keep your life in my prayers…may our god be with you…just stay strong…
