Punch Addiction in The Face, Save the People!!

Greetings, I am a person in recovery and I am very passionate about helping others. Addiction is taking out a whole generation of our society. It doesn't have to be like this.

For decades, I used drugs as a coping mechanism and as a search for spiritual life. Then it turned on me. I couldn't keep a job or function as a human being. For many years, my using resulted in psychosis and even though I wanted to change I couldn't. I didn't know there were others that had found a way out of addiction.

There was always an excuse getting in my way. I needed to do this or that, adopted some stray animals and couldn't get out of my own way to get help.

In my pursuit for change, I have been countless therapists, 11 rehab centers in 2 states, 2 mental health institutions and moved around over state borders. I even tried to just be in church every time the doors were open but nothing was helping. I was so hopeless. I was planning to end my life but decided to give recovery one last chance.

I discovered I was the problem and could do what was suggested by others like me to enjoy life without drugs.

I now have over 6 years clean and am very passionate about helping others.

At 1 year clean, I opened a 12 bed women's transitional home. It was an amazing experience as I housed, fed, clothed, encouraged around 100 women and many are still clean today. A higher power pulled me into helping more women than I could at one location, so I left it in another womans care.

I have continued to help constantly. I send women money for groceries, gasoline to get to work, light bills, work uniforms, bus tickets for transportation, transitional fees and/or anything within my means. I drive women to new places to start a clean life. I am very passionate about helping. I sponsor a bunch of women and speak on all social media platforms about not giving up today as an attempt to encourage anyone and everyone.

I have been given a vision of helping addicts on a much wider scale, so I am reaching out on here to anyone who has been affected by this disease. I would like to expand this to a much greater range of people and more ways to help others get clean or stay clean.

I am applying for non-profit status for a small online store I have online to raise money for this cause also, called CC'sCommunity.LIFE

In the meantime, people are dying, and I don't want to just sit and watch.

I know that there are things I cannot do alone but I believe we can do this together.

Let's Punch this disease of Addiction in the face and get our people back!!!
