I never thought this year would come. Recovery is not all roses. I have had my problems over the past few years. I do owe my recovery to my probation officer. This may be strange but it's the truth.

He told me I wasn't allowed to go home after jail. Which left me only one choice when it came time to get out of jail. That choice was rehab! There I found out how to love myself with a bunch of other things. While I was there he told me he would transfer me anywhere in the state as long as I didn't go back home.

This was hard at first but it was worth every moment. I learned how to live life without substances. I learned what meetings were for. Today I want to thank that probation officer for giving me the push I needed to change my life.
