Right on bro! U guys made IT! I know a lot of people here my old friends who wants to get clean but they don't know how. So I told them to join me every Tuesday and Thursday night at a NA meeting here in Hawaii. Its only my fourth week attending the meeting and I've heard all kind of life changing stories! From folks who just got out of the penitentiary and from folks who lost their jobs,homes,& family because of drugs. All i could share to them is that I was at the wrong place at the wrong time with some not so good people and that's how i ended up in an institution. LOL. I just want you to know that I'm doing much better now than how I was doing before and after i got out of "it works" I won't go into full details but just so u know I am currently employed and my mom is happy about that also by next year January I will start my classes and training programs for the U.S. National Guard. That's what I have plan for this upcoming year. I'll keep u posted here n there bro because u might not know it but I see you as a friend an older brother as a father figure since I never really had a dad growing up. I truly believe that God uses people to inspire us,whether he wants us to change for the good or simply to make us see ourselves for who we are and appreciate what we have in dis hell hole we call home!& in my case not to worry about what others have to say or think about me. I'm talking about the people who knows me well enough like my brother, mom, stepdad, auntie, uncle, & cousins here and in Davao who have or has doubts that I won't change and that i will always be a pain in my moms ass! You know what i mean yeah bro!? I mean instead of encouraging me to stay sober they make me feel like I'm a bad person or there's something wrong with me just because I had psychosis due to drug use. The only reason why i was doing so much drugs in the first place was cause of them. They was never there to talk to when I was going thru a rough time with my GF at the time, she was leaving me for another dude because apparently she found out that I was doing drugs and she never liked that because i told her i was done doing drugs since I had just got out of rehab earlier that year. With all that said i just want to tell u that u were right wen u told us patients that we never met each other on accident and that it was all for a reason at first i thought that its all bullshit but then as time goes on by i was starting to see what u was talking about,like what i said before about how god uses people in our lives to make us a better person by comparing and relating our life to those who's maybe going through much more worse situation than one of us patients. In short we learn valuable lessons from each other even though we only know each other for a short period of time. Its through sharing of life stories that I've learned so much. I learned that I'm not the only one who's suffering from my attribution. One last thing I gotta always remember is that I was already "Done" when u guys picked me up at Digos, I didn't even know what was going on any more all I knew is that I was in trouble. LOL! and Bro to give u an idea how much of my life I owe to u. No words can describe how thankful I am that "IT WORKS" came and saved me from my own destruction. If it wasn't for your determination and your belief that i could still be restored back to sanity, I GUARANTEE U 100% I would of lost my mind.
