Is it possible to turn your life around?

Question

im 23 and for the past few years i havent been exactly good.

ive done alot of drungs , drinking , got in trouble with the police ect.

dont get the wrong impression , ive not a drug addict or alcoholic and always held down a job just kinda lost a sense of responsiblity that i regrest , im older now and dont want to waste my life with that stuff and end up with no one or nothing.

i fell now is the time to make the change and make a good life for myself before its to late.

anyone here had to do something similar?

Answer 4

it is possible!!!!! praying to God and going to confession are the first things you can do so that you can turn around and live a fulfilling, happy life!  

Answer 5

im very proud of you and i think its amazing that u have chosen to turn ur life around - better now than later

now, u still have the opportunity to go back to school, get an education and after a few years, maybe ur criminal record (if u have one) will go away and look into investing into ur interests so that u dont get involved with the wrong crowds that will eventually drag u back into a life of drugs.alcohol and crime

i had to get my life together too but i did that when i was 17 because i wasnt focusin on school and being wayyyyyyy to rebellious and im glad i did - it all pays off

gluck to you!!!!

Yes I did I was an addict in my day once an addict always one... but the important thing is if your active or not and I am not.

It is just the way a person perceives what is most important to them. You saw the way things were and chose not to go that route and that was a wonderful choice to make so now your get what we call your priorities straight in your life. Your Growing UP! I am proud to see you take this step and see you taking it in the right perspective. Congratulations!!!!
