Voices for Recovery

Tracey Price (09/26/2011)

I started drinking and smoking when I was 15, and in my early 20's I started using Methamphetamine, and continued using meth for over 17 years. For years I didn't want to quit, and for years I wanted to quit, but it seemed I could not.

I have been free from meth and alcohol since June 5, 2009. I quit smoking cigarettes October 2009.

To anyone that is like I was, and wants to quit but didn't think it was possible, I can tell you honestly, anything is possible if you put your faith in God. There are no words to describe how wonderful it feels to be totally FREE at last! Thanks to my higher power, 12 step meetings and to the people God put in my life I am FREE.
