Sobriety: A Personal Touch
Jenna’s Story: Part II continuation:
No matter how much I didn’t listen, they still talked to me and tried to get me to see how screwed up I was. Nine hundred and ninety nine times out of one thousand, I didn’t listen to them…. Even though I said I did. I knew I had to get control of my life and quit drinking.
I had tried quitting a few times on my own but it was never enough. I needed help and reaching out was both the hardstand smartest thing Ive ever done. I couldn’t go it alone, but thankfully there are others… also recovering addicts who share the burden and ease the transition from addiction to recovery.
I learned a lot about myself in rehab and I feel like it has given me a purpose. I’ve enrolled into college again and I want to be a social worker and help kids in the same situation as me. It’s not easy getting beyond your habits, but support groups with a special person are a big part of making it. I want to be that person. I want to succeed. I want to be sober.
