Help support Chris on his recovery journey!

Hello everyone! Good vibes from Spokane, WA! I first want to express my profound gratitude to each and every person who donated to my last fundraiser to help me get into treatment and humbly thank you for all the prayers and well wishes and for believing in me when I was at my lowest of lows. I know it took a little longer than expected, but everything happens for a reason, and everything lined up for me to be where I am today. I'm doing amazing at just over 3 weeks clean and sober. (2/16/2025) I have a deep desire to glean everything I can from this experience and share what works for me in my recovery with those around me. I have a truly positive outlook and mindset now. I have a profoundly personal and powerful understanding of the universe and an abyssal respect for my connection to the Creator (God, as I have come to know them). I am fully leaning into my recovery. No holding back because I'm not going back no matter what it takes. I love myself and love everyone and everything, and for once in my life, I know I'm doing exactly the right thing, so I'm not worried about the future. This is the best high I've ever had, and I'm addicted to it. My goal for the week is to get a sponsor and start working the steps. I meditate instead of medicate.

Now, as well as I'm doing and as hard as I'm hustling for my recovery, I have some things I could really use as I have lost basically everything during my active addiction. Now that I have graduated from Detox and Inpatient treatment and took the next daunting step into the unknown... by that I mean I chose to go way out of my comfort zone and moved to Spokane for the 12-week program under the same umbrella of Royal Treatment Centers. With this next phase in the program, I am allowed a great deal more freedom but more responsibility and am held accountable. I will be allowed and encouraged to find a job after 4 weeks here, but as of now, I am in need of some support. Things that are not supplied to me here that I'd use to make my time here as worthwhile as possible. From clothing items to toiletries, haircuts, NA literature, my car was stolen on the 1st of the year, and I lost it to the impound. It's a goal of mine to find a mechanic special for a steal and give it the attention it needs to serve me well. Or even if you or someone you know have a vehicle that isn't being used that you could donate to me I couldn't imagine how grateful it would make me. With wheels, I would be able to practice responsible freedom and be accountable for myself and regain my independence. I know it's a big ask, but I have big things to do!

Make no mistake, I'd rather earn my money. I do not feel entitled just because I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. That being said, I will absolutely take advantage of anything that I can in order to achieve my goals and accomplish my dreams. So if you feel inclined to help me build my life back better than ever. I will make damn sure to pay it forward as it is my vision to help other addicts to find their own way to recover. Everything we do has a lasting effect on everyone around us and after us. Mindfulness and love are key.

Any donations go directly to my mom's account. She (Allison Crandall) is my accountability accountant for now. And my biggest fan! Love you, Mom! ❤️

Thank you so much just for reading this. And I love you. If you can't donate, throw a prayer my way or for the addict that still suffers.

Happiness is a choice!
