Sometimes life gets difficult and you begin to wonder what you have done that life treats you so bad. I am a man in my 30s. I am not married yet and I have no achievements. I work so hard to become something in life, but the more I try, the more it gets difficult for me. Most times i get depressed, I have parents and siblings that looks up to me. What do I do to take care of the problems that have held me so strong? I feel very sad. Life is difficult sometimes. but I advise myself that where there is life there is still hope. I always try to pick myself back up and wipe my tears and move on because if I don't, nobody will do it for me. I am the only one that can do it for myself. It is good to be happy than to be sad. I still have hope.

Our life is like a wave in the ocean, it goes up and down but the folks always love to be in a comfort layer. Life without experiencing the difficulties and struggles will never learn the real meaning of life.

I met the love of my life, he was my first addiction. We partied on the weekends and took care of responsibilities during the week until I got pregnant and had our first child I fell and into postpartum depression. My boyfriend sold opiates and he told me if I took a couple pills it would make me feel better, and it did. Those 2 pills turned into 50 pills a day for 6 years. We got pregnant with our second child, At 8 months pregnant I finally reached my breaking point. I couldn't stand to feel the way I was feeling any longer, I called for help and got into treatment. The day I got out of treatment was the day I went into labor. My son was born addicted. They took my kids from me. I hit rock bottom. I had a decision to make, go use or go to a meeting. I went to a NA meeting and there I learned how to stay clean. Here I am 3 years later, still going to meetings to give back what was so freely given to me and my babies are back home with me.

I have a special.. I came to this school after losing my mum and I found her. She goes the extra mile to keep people happy.. She cares for everyone, but hardly anyone sees her cry.
