Profile: Janet
My name is Janet. I’m a recovering addict and an alumnus of Seeds of Hope. I started my process March 12, 2002 by going through detox and then a rehab program. After that, I was accepted to Seeds of Hope where I was introduced to the tools for recovery: getting a sponsor, attending meetings, reading the literature, building a network of women, being of service, and not picking up that first drink or drug.
I still use these tools today, but for them to work, I had to adapt to the program. This was when I learned how to accept my past and work toward doing something different. As an addict, I know the pain of addiction, but I also know the joy of recovery. I am grateful that in the course of my recovery, I developed a conscious contact with my Higher Power. No addict seeking recovery need die without a chance for a better way of life. Just for today, I never have to use again.
