I have had to make plenty of difficult decisions in my life. The most recent one was deciding to live my life free of drugs. I am in recovery, and I have over three years clean. In 2002, I lost everything I have ever worked hard for. Including my daughter, my house, and my job all do to my drug use. I had to make a decision to either quit or go to jail. At that time it was the hardest choice I ever had to make. The day I decided that I wanted to get my daughter back, was the beginning of a long rough road to recovery. In 2004 I had a son who made things a lot more worth fighting for. My goal was to get my daughter back and have my son as well. In order to do that, I had to make all the right choices from from that point on; in fact, I made the decision to go to rehab and have my son. when I got back, I worked on getting my daughter.
Making the choice to live my life clean was much harder then I thought, but I have, and I love it. Since then, I have been clean and accomplished so much. I got full custody of my daughter and I had my son drug free. I made the choice to go to college, and most of all, I completed every program that was thrown at me. I know there will be a lot more challenges ahead in my life; nevertheless, there won't be any choice harder then the one I just had to face, which was getting my life back.

Nice post. I would say you made the right decision in this case! Keep up the good work staying drug free.
I like this post. It was a good decision, even though I know from expeience it was hard. Being an addict and quitting drugs is not as easy as people think. I am glad you have your family.
