Love, Cheyenne In my addictive days, I couldn’t wait to get off work so that I could have a beer. That’s what got me through the day, knowing that I had a drink waiting for me. That’s what I worked for. Not to pay my bills, but to have money to drink on or buy drugs with. I would do just about anything to get a drink. When I had no money, I would ask someone to borrow money. If they said no, I would get angry with them. I would even hate them sometimes. Who needs them anyway.

I looked forward to that high because when I was on that level, I had no fears or cares at all. Today, I realize that I was running from those fears and didn’t want to care about anything or anyone, even myself. All that mattered to me, and all I cared about, was that high. It didn’t matter who I hurt or how I hurt them, as long as I got to that level. But today I have a different outlook on life because I know that even my lowest low, no matter the reason, is better than my highest high in my days as an addict. Today, I know that no matter how low I get, I know I can go to bed and not wake up sick. That is enough for me. I can be proud of who I am. Today, I can honestly say that I love myself. And that feeling of loving myself is a better high than any drug could ever bring me.
