LEGIT, INSPIRED: M. M. Padellan

Love this dude, true hero of the everyday, and everyone, he posted this and I had to share,

INSPIRED IS:

“20 years ago today, on August 17th, I stopped using drugs and alcohol.

20 years later, I’m STILL grateful to those who helped me through that self-destructive period, and trying to be a beacon of hope for others.

20 years from now, I hope to be still drug free and truly blessed.

2 years ago today, I quit smoking cigarettes, and I’m STILL tobacco free!

I’ll tell you, this has not been an easy journey, and some days are harder than others. But I keep it simple and just take it one day at a time. Sometimes I have to do one HOUR at a time.

There are many relapses that are part of my story, times I’ve tried to get clean and failed, ever since I was 17 years old. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, as long as you keep getting back up.

I share about this publicly because I hope to reach people who are struggling the way I was, someone who thinks “what’s the point” the way I once did because I failed so many times.

Just keep getting up. And don’t pick up.


ONE DAY AT A TIME.”
