Hi I am a recovering Heroin addict. I have been clean for over 5 years now, however I will be recovering for the rest of my life. I used Heroin, Oxycontins or any other opiate I could get my hands on for 15 long years. Nothing could stop me not my parents, not any member of my family, not my ex wife, not my current wife, not the birth of my first child, even a good stint in jail could stop me from using.
I can now say with pride that I am now a very successful business man. I run a number of online as well as offline business, I am happily married to the best woman in the world who has stood right by my side for the past 15 years and through the thick and the thin, we share 2 beautiful children. We own the house we live in aswell as a number of investment properties. I guess it would be safe to say I am living proof that it can be done, you can win the fight against addiction.
I have decided to share my struggles and triumphs from addiction and write a book. My aim is to inspire people who are struggling with the disease of drug addiction. I am looking for truly inspiring stories of courage and strength from other like minded people. Obviously I wont be able to publish every story so the more inspiring and emotional charged stories will be chosen to be published (only with your consent of course) All stories will be read and treated with the upmost respect and confidentiality. If you wish to remain anonymous please state this in your email to me and if your story is chosen then we will respect your wishes.
If you would like any more information or questions please feel free to ask me. I will not give your email to anyone
Thank you

Hey, my name is Jessica, I am a recovering Heroin addict of 8yrs. It started from smoking weed, drinking a lot of whiskey and dropping a lot of acid. My life of partying started when I was 13, and finally at 33 yrs old...I'm done. I'm still struggling with the heroin though. I have a long rap sheet of 12 felonies, from stealing, assault, DWI, tampering with a motor vehicle, I was really out there,bad. I stared snorting it, got bored with that and went to shooting it. I was homeless, living out of my car with friends, we would make our money by stealing DVD's and selling them to a fence, we'd find any way possible to get our next high. In the mist of all of this, I grew to like crack, so I was speed balling all the time. I was a very sick person, mentally and physically. My family disowned me, they eventually gave Up on me. I've been to about 8 rehabs in Missouri, I always walked out and never completed them. I've been to so many detox centers, I'd get better for 3 to 4 days and go right back out there. I need a break, to disappear, to eat and take a shower. My life was one big cloud, I felt like I didn't even exist, I didn't want to be alive. I felt dead so that's what I wanted everyone to think too. It was almost likevI was trying to punish my family for the horrible relationships and things Ive been through, but really, I was only hurting myself. It's so sad now that I look back. So after 12 felonies ans 2 trips to Vandailia, I did stay clean for 7 yrs straight after my last 3 yr stint in prison. I got out in jan, 2006. Got pregnant in July, and had my son Jayden, I went to apartment and was in a program called Project Cope down off Nat. bridge and Marcus. I moved from there to S.Broadway, and now I live in the country with my 3 kids and their Dad. I've slipped up more than a few times, the last time I decided to do that it nearly cost me my life, I wrecked my car and I'm on probation for assault. But I can say that if you want to quit, you can, on your own, I'm living proof that you can get past the Heroin and live a normal life, it is possible. I still struggle everyday, but it takes a very strong person to do it. You have to stay strong and fight your demons because, believe me, they will try and get you every time and everyday. Believe in yourself...
