    only god knows why my story part 1 of 2

    well it all started around 9 years ago . give or take . and at that time things for me were going i would say really damn good . i had my own company building houses in nc .and i was making really good money. well i got greeding and wanted more . i had everything i wanted . so i started thinking of other ways i could use my money and make it work for me . and thats when i started dealing drugs . i never dealed anything to to kids . and never force it on anyone that didnt want it .well it went on for about 6 months dealing pot at frist then coke . and i never really got into pot that much. it would just put me to sleep . but the coke in the other hand i loved it after work every day for about two months . then it wasnt enought i wanted something stronger so i started cooking it and smoking it . well that last for about a month and everything came to halt within that last month my work went to hell .all my guys i had working for me couldnt handle me being too pushy and i lost my company . see i work for big company as a subcontrackor and i got fired .well after that happen i try to do everything to get it all back .but it didnt work so i went to work for another company . but mean while my anger was building up and i was still doing drugs and drinking . well one day after work i came home the place was a mess and i was drinking that day and i just lost it totally . well me and my ex got into big time yelling match . my kids were crying . and i grab my yougest and yell at him . and that when she really lost it she grab the kids and left. and 20 minute later the cops were at my door. me with a beer in one hand and asking what the fuck do you want . well you what happen next i went to jail for three days and while i was in jail they were trying to find my ex . the cops were asking me where was my ex was. when i was in jail . well when i got out she and the kids were no where to be found and my brother too . come to find out he took my ex and the kids and brought them down to florida . well after that i really lost it bad time i started not giving a damn went on a drunken for about two weeks did my drugs with a beer in one hand and smoking coke in the other . working like a redneck . cutting trees down for more beer and drugs and and well one day we were having a party at one of my buddy house and he had this girl over there with him and she was doing the drugs and all that . well a fight came out of nowhere she and him had it out . well 10 minutes go by and i start to wonder what happen . it had goten real quite well he came back and she is gone .he send her on her way and we are in the middle of no where and we are out in front of his house and we all start seeing cops roll by the house . and i say we need to find out what had happen and i ask my buddy where is that girl he said she walk home . and i told him to get on the truck lets find out what happen and we drive down the road to find out that she had been hit by a car. see there were no lights on that road and that car that hit her couldnt see her and she was dead all because drugs and alcohol and from that day i did everything i could to better my self and get off the drugs . i sold everything in the house made enough money .to get down to florida and try to get my family back .
    well it didnt happen .and when i got here. i found a job within two day. i live in motels week by week and then one day or i should say one night my truck got stolen with all my tools in it and and the cops woke my up at 5:30 that morning telling me they found the truck and took me to it and had the guy there that stole it and i just got in the truck and drove away . well after two weeks of living in motels i decide to just work and sleep in my truck and that went pretty damn good for a week . then i called my mother inlaw to see how my ex and the kids were doing and she ask me how was i doing and then ask me to come live with her and my ex-wife uncle .well the next day before i went to live with them . i went to work all good . but something had to go wrong , i broke my wrist at work in the hospital for 5 hours screaming in pain . and having to drive to my new home and i get to the exit that i had to get off on. that song came on " only gods knows why" sitting there at the stop light crying not worry about the other cars behind me and then i look up and started laughing . and i have been drug free for now 8 1/2 years and i did it on my own .. there is more to the story ..this is part 1 of 2

      Mr. T.

      Thanks for sharing your story. We are all here with different backgrounds but united in the same resolve - to battle and emerge victorious against the chemical dependencies that had so insidiously taken control of our lives. In my case the beasts were nicotine and alcohol.

      MWO & the success stories here constantly inspire us to truly believe that we can make a fresh start in life, turning our backs to these soul-degrading dependencies. We have great friends here who help us in keeping our guard up.

      We are all together in this journey for self-regeneration & it is appearing to be worthwhile.

      All the best. Love and peace

              T..that took a lot of guts to post that. I think you're great. I agree with what T2C said as well; without all the tragedies, the losses, the happy and sad moments that happen in our lives..if we were to lose them, we would not be who we are, we would be different. I know I would be a different person...I hope Part 2 has more happy moments in it

                    tlrgs,

                    Thank you for sharing your story, and what a powerful story is was. I also have deep connections to that song that maybe someday I will share. My favorite line is:

                    "So I think I'll keep on walking With my head held high
                    I'll keep moving on and only God knows why".

                    Ironic as it may seem, the cool thing is God does know why, and that is the kick!

                    Guy

                    PS> I cant wait for part 2 because of the anticipated happy ending!

                      well to make a long story short .for 8 1/2 years now it has been long and hard road to quit drinking . oh i try it too many times for a week . then two .and i even did two months once.
                      but every time al got the best of me . i would get piss of for some reason.and just want to drink my problems away . well it never work always got worst ,never better. until 7 months ago. the day of my awaking . i had lost everything again.and that story is deep within all my thread. and thing i can say today . today mark 7 months and i feel good and that all that counts life goes on and am here back from the dead living life the sober way .
                      peace,love and god bless

                      have an awesome day everyone

                        hi there... my awaking and the pepper plant story

                        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                        how i feel as i"m learning to love again as me .it took so much for me to see what was in front of me ...until i lost it all.to realize all i had was all i needed.the women i love, my two boys and yes even my ex-wife.there was everything i ever needed.in many ways it was my drinking way to much for one to handle and that is what brought out my anger.to take it out on everyone i love.was the worst thing i could ever do to anyone.to think i had it so bad.where i didnt.all i had to do is to look around and open my eyes and heart.if i would have done it sooner.it would"ve taken so much to get me where i am today.to see myself in that bed laying there helpless with piss and shit all over me .i thought i was dead.but to see myself for the first time.i saw what everyone was trying to tell me.to see that i was going to be alone,unhappy in everway and at this time i was.to make me realize what i have done to everone i love. i push them away.i should have never said the things i said to them or the things i did to them..i put them threw hell.to let them see me do it to myself,all because i drank and the pain of worry about work and where i was going to get money from or my next job..my boys the world is so bad in many ways for you two boys to grow up without a father .and i many ways . i thought i was doig the rigth thing.by being a hard ass to them, showing them that a little hard work.is good for a person to learn,but really .i was pushing them away.who wants a drunk for a father.and in the same way who would want a drunk as a lover.to let her see me try to kill myself.and to make her feel so bad about herself.to tell you the truth. i"m glad she did what she did .to push me into waking up to see and understand.how when and where it went wrong.the when and where is this.i always had to drink.the what .it didnt matter because it would take just any small thing to make me mad and want to drink more..now how can i as tlrgs live and understand. what i did.that is kind of hard because.i do not remember alot of it.it took sue and i to sit down and talk about what i had done to them and her..all i can ask for is to see if they have it in their hearts to for give me.i know it takes time.i will say one thing.for along time.i didnt believe there was a GOD.until the day i woke up and looked around .there were signs all around me..to see the cat friendlier.the pepper plant .i had planted last summer. it completly dead were alive again with flowers on it . and it was in october,we had christmas pepper and its still going strong.the ideal of just saying no and controlling my anger the best i can and thinking before i speak.to have sue back and my kids wanting to spent time with me they have even gone to a meeting with me.is the greatest gift of all .. we are getting marired and take the time to live one day at a time.what i want most of all is for them to open their eyes and see. that i can change not for them .but for myself first.i know it will take time . but am on the right path now.and i know there is a god . i am a better man for just taking that first step and admitting that i am an alcoholic and going to meetings.they really do help ....would love to hear your comments thanks.....TLRGS

                            What a tough and touching story, tlrgs. It's hard to believe that you are the same guy that you've been writing about. Clearly, you have come a long, long way. You have worked very hard. Enjoy your success. It sounds like you are wise enough not to take your sobriety for granted.
