Hello to all it's Randy Anderson and I have been off the grid for a long time. I will be straight up. I'm an alcoholic and addict and I have been for 30 plus years. I'm sick and it has almost taken my life several times over. I have lost everything. I mean everything. I have pushed away the ones I love most. I finally hit rock bottom about a year ago. I spent many months in jail and I have lived on the streets. I deserved hitting this God awful low because I now have been sober for over 11 months. I had to have both of my hips replaced on April 11th and May 30th of 2024. I learned how to walk again only 3 plus weeks ago. I placed myself at the Adult Rehabilitation Center for men through the Salvation Army to guide me in my sobriety. Folks I ca not put into words the fight I endured to get where I am today. I miss my friends who I ran away from too hide my addictions and alcoholism. What I feel in my heart is pure disappointment in myself. I miss my daughter who needs me and all of you. I have just now started climbing out of my sickened shell to find a healthy life style. I need all the love I can find and I have so much I'm going to give back. Today learning how to walk again is a gift but a slow healing gift. I've attempted to start working again but I need a month or two to continue the healing process. As of now I moved into an Oxford house (sober living). I moved in last Wednesday July 12th and it is a very good fit for my sobriety and for me to get back on my feet, figuratively speaking. I went through a very serious interview to be voted in to this house. My roommates are extremely serious about sobriety and there are rules we must follow. I would never have posted on Facebook again if I wasn't sober. The replies I received touched me heart in ways I can't explain. Thank you!!! I feel there is hope in my life again. I have made contact with my father again and he seems proud that I'm taking the steps I need to get a life back. This is a daily struggle and I must continue the path I am on. I still need help and asking is a lot more difficult than I ever expected. My dad always says if you don't ask you will not get. So this brings me to why I'm writing you on LFEBridge because I need help in paying for my place at the Oxford house (Bowman). My expenses are low but when you have absolutely nothing it is stressful. My monthly rent comes out to $165.00 weekly, $165.00 move-in cost. The roommates are allowing me some time to pay but not much. If I can pay rent until I am strong enough to work (x4 weeks I should be ready) I will be able to stay. I need this place dearly. I'm asking for help to pay my rent with whatever you can donate. Again, this is extremely hard to ask for, but I'm worth it. My sobriety is my most important goal. I believe in my faith in God will lead me to a healthy path. I'm not a very good writer but I love to talk. Please text me at anytime if you have any questions. Blessings, Randy Anderson
