Help Isaiah and Andi Maintain Their Stability

Story

Hi everyone! Isaiah and Andi here. Some of you may be aware that this is the first time I've ever taken a step towards detox and then returned home. In the past, I would undergo inpatient treatment for a month or two, followed by Sober Living. However, I never had the stability of a home to return to after a relapse. I've faced incredible challenges, including being homeless on the streets of California, but I forced myself to seek help at an indigent detox center, and that marked the beginning of my of journey back to my homestate of Michigan. I've been blessed with a home for three years now and have had the same employer for five years - these are accomplishments I never thought possible in my 20 years of recovery. Although I've relapsed while having these things, I've been able to hold on to them because I reached out for help and followed guidance. To me, this is this is growth. I hadn’t dranked from 2020 - 2024, but since then I’ve relapsed 3 times a. I'm now at a crossroads, and I'm aware that I could lose everything I've worked for, including my vehicle, which I even regained my license after 10 long years. I'm proud of how far I've come, and I'm eager to continue my journey. I have attempted all different avenues in order to not have to do this, yet here I am. If you're able to offer support, please do so by donating . I've exhausted all other avenues, and I'm grateful for any help I can receive. I’m only a month behind on all these financial obligations, but when you are paycheck to paycheck,…. Like so many of us are … it’s hard to see a way out in the moment. i’m aware if it wasn’t for my alcoholism, I would not be in this situation. I own that.
