Recovery First

Donation protected
Most of you know me and some of you don’t. I have been absent from social media most of this year because I lost focus. I have always had a problem with addiction (though sadly i was too proud to admit it) well that was until March 2019 when I came out as an addict and checked myself into rehab. I was uninsured, but desperate and I drained my savings and handed over $10,000 to do my damndest not to go down. I left behind a business that I was so passionate about. A brand I had worked 6 years on building. None of it mattered because I had become the monster that I unfortunately saw scathing the streets of downtown Asheville in my teen years. I was disgusted. How could you let your life get there. Well, fast forward to November 13, 2019 and here I am. Homeless, careless, jobless, and moneyless. I have had stints of 60+ days sobriety during this time. But one thing always happened. I lost focus. So, I am really looking to strip myself and figure out who I am. Not my religion, gender, sexuality , profession. But who is Samuel. I got accepted into a program in southwest Florida for a quarter of what I paid in March , and it’s 2 weeks more time spent healing. I am in shock. 

With that hat being said I am putting pride and ego aside and it’s letting people know that I can use some help. All of my friends are going to gasp when they see this. Because I HAVE NEVER ASKED FOR HELP. 

Anyway, I love me and I know that I am worth it, so here is to one more shot to see myself shine again. 

Much Love!
