Not good so I start to use aand well I got high for 6 weeks straight. I was a mess. So that's not the point. I am not answering my phone cause I'm using and my family keeps calling and I mean they are calling. So I'm not even listening to the messages. So finally I got this text from my son who at the time was 19. Hey dad I just want you to know that I love you and I you need to get over here Grandma is not going to be ok shes sick really sick. My heart dropped I call and he tells me she has pancreatitis cancer. She has maybe a month to live. What what what. I'm like why man why me the victim. I began to ball uncontrolably. I was so close to my mom. How did this happen so quickly I have no leg my mom's dying. So I get enough courage to go see her at the house they just sent her home and gave her a bunch of meds so she was comfortable. I had one of the most important and honest and hard conversations with my mom ever. I'm so glad I got to see her out. And she she died the next day. So I went back out and used till I went to prison. I've been clean since and I literally grew up became a man and really realized what I was doing to myself and my family. So I told you guys this because. I want to get trained to be a peer support specialist. I got out on Dec 29 and I have not used one time. I have been struggling with every aspect of my life and I have to keep the faith. It will get better and I reuse to not be able to make time with my loved ones. I can't get a job I have extreme pain all day and night. I had to meet new friends and I have been uncomfortable. Recovery sucks and I think of just not feeling up to the challenge at times. I'm starting to truly lose my urge to use heroin and I know that if I don't get in the recovery community I will use and die. I'm a pretty tough guy but not that tough I can't beat this on my own. So if anyone wants to talk my #920-757-3827 Andrew and if you have a job lead I am all for it. I got denied for disability 2 xs now another struggle. I had stayed in the shelter for 2mo then moved in with my girlfriend she is so awesome. I mean she literally pays all the bills and doesn't even complain not one time. I'm so blessed to be alive and I will help anyone else I can I'm not too mobile as I have no car but I look forward to seeing or hearing from some of you guy gals

So my name is Andrew Klein and I have lost almost every thing to addiction. In 2021 I lost my right leg due to an infection. My life has been tough before and man it's really tough now. But I wouldn't change it at all. See losing my leg has been a teaching experience. See I really know whats important to me now. See I lost my leg July 15 2021 and I got out of the hospital 4 wks later. So I was in a state of disbelief that it really even happened. So I'm at my mom's house staying there. I was so focused on staying sober and being the best friend, father, spouse, and man. In trying to make a difference in the world from that day on. So crazy thing now I go to the doctor with my mom cause she was in a lot of pain and falling down frequently. So I'm there with her and they do an emergency surgery blood clots in the leg. Dr, comes out about 8 hours later and successful operation she will be fine. Wow what a relief so I go see her and it's like 230 in the morning. She says Andrew you have to go home your still healing. Ever the mother not worried about her self but her son. So I say are you sure yes go. So I'm happy reflecting on how I need to get my shit together and enjoy the things in life that deserve my attention and love and nurturing. So I call an old friend to pick me up. Harmless right I'm going straight home and I'm focused I got this. Well he picked me up and low and behold he offered some meth. Man I wasn't prepared for this. I'm strong hell I had only been clean for 2 months
