"Rehabilitation with lives lived well Logan house & Logan family recovery"

I began my meth addiction after a stillbirth in 2016 & I felt as though I had no one to turn to with the grief that I could trust so the meth became my best n only friend.

Since then I have continued in my addiction quite heavily &;in the process I began to lose the connection of my family members as they couldn't bare to sit back & watch me slowly lead to an early grave then eventually I lost my older children to their father but that still didn't stop my use, I became homeless for the first time ever in my life  but yet I continued to use daily til 2021 I was sent to prison for crimes that I would not usually commit if I wasn't in addiction  I got out in the July of that year & 2 months later I lost my closest & best friend that I had in addiction to suicide so the grief was knocking again then I began to do sex work as a means to buy more til eventually I was using more than I ever had the first time but then my house was set on fire & lost absolutely everything I owned I still hadn't seen or heard from my older kids & always had thoughts of just giving up on trying to reconnect with them so I eventually was given a new home & slowly started to rebuild my life while deep in addiction I continued to work as a sex worker to support my habit, the so called friends I had were never there when I needed them the most but were always there offering drugs while I was trying to get clean then in 2022 I found out I was pregnant after being told in 2016 I couldnt have anymore but being given the chance to have another baby should of stopped me in my tracks of my addiction but I still used then when he was born he was taken by child safety so I went to rehab for 6 weeks to prove I was a good mum but I completed the program n went straight back to addiction as I didn't learn the tools I needed to stay clean but I did cut down on the days I was using but still didn't see I was an addict until August 2024.

I returned to Logan house for 2 weeks to settle into the program before moving to Logan family recovery where I began the reunification process I spent 16 weeks & 3 days working the program learning the tools I need to live a happy healthy sober life while there I discovered alot about myself, I've learnt to regulate my emotions  change my negative thoughts I now know my own character strengths I can now label my Emotions & understand that they are trying to tell me something isn't right within myself I also know it ok to not be ok since beginning to the program my mental health has had good days n bad days but for me I just had to be willing to do the hard work, stay focused on why I was there & not allow the outside stuff that took place without me there affect my recovery the outside stuff is out of my control during the program I got in contact with my older children which has been a blessing & it's the best reward a person can want I leave the program with a strong foundation & support network but I would never of made it this far without the team at lives lives well Logan house & Logan family recovery they are a asset to the program as they are understanding , show empathy ,compassion & always make us challenge our behaviours & thoughts so from me to the support team thankyou for helping me grow into a strong self loving women that has a positive attitude about the next chapter in my recovery 💯
