Spending time in a drug rehabilitation center can be incredibly difficult but also empowering. In this article I will be sharing very personal experiences that I have never revealed before. These experiences have shaped the person I am today.
Spending time in a drug rehabilitation center is never something I thought I would ever experience in my life. Drugs were not something I was curious about when I was younger and I actually had some fears of drugs. As I spent more time around others using drugs, I became more comfortable around drugs and people who were using. Eventually I would give in. Slowly my recreational drug use had become a major problem in life.
My drug use became a more serious problem throughout high school and into my years at university. I thought that I was doing a great job of hiding my problem until Christmas break happened one year and my parents saw all the signs. I had great parents, by the way, and I believe that they were in no way responsible for my drug use or for my eventual need for drug rehabilitation.
My drug problem got so bad shortly after that Christmas break that I ended up agreeing to go to drug rehabilitation without any fight. Most drug users, I am told, put up a fight for a while when someone first suggests that they enter drug rehabilitation. But not me. I knew how badly I needed help and I knew that if left alone I would probably allow drugs to kill me.
Going to a drug rehabilitation center was not something I wanted to do but after spending over a year as a patient I discovered more about myself and my addiction. Learning that addiction was a disease and understanding that I needed to feel whole inside to truly beat this disease. Even though I was in my twenties when I first went to rehab, it was while being there that I discovered what being a good person was about, what being a man was. These are lessons that shape me into the person I am today. A stronger person inside and out. I knew that taking care of health and being truthful with myself was the life that I was going to live.
Writing about my struggles with drug use and my eventual time spent in a drug rehabilitation center helps to keep myself honest. It will always be a part of my life, something that will continue to help me grow into a stronger person. I only hope that by others reading my personal journey that they can see the benefit of taking that step to better their own life.
