Hello Everybody. My name is Charles Jared Kagigebi and I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. Today's goal: give out compliments to make someone's day. 😀
Hi my name is Charles. Yes, I'm a drug addict and alcoholic, BUT "I am in recovery." And you know what, I'm not even ashamed to admit that. It actually feels great. Have a good day. 😁🤘🏼
17 years clean from all narcotic drugs and abusing prescription medications, 7 from cigarettes, and on Christmas it'll be 3 years from alcohol. I don't smoke weed or vape either. If I'm boring, so be it. I'm not going through the hell addiction put me through again. Period.
17 years clean of all narcotic drugs and abusing prescription medications, 7 from cigarettes, and 3 from alcohol. Not only that, but I'm trying to stay outta the casinos too. It's been 2 weeks. It's been one helluva ride, but worth it.

On Christmas 2020, that was the last time time drank alcohol. So this month on the 26th will mark 2 years of ABSOLUTE sobriety. Can I get a "Hallelujah!!" 😁

Because I'm trying to donate my kidney, I was told I needed to lose some weight. So I went from 234 lbs to 203 lbs in 3 months by hitting the elliptical and going hiking. I hope I can donate this kidney to help save my sick cousin's life. Wish me luck.
17 yrs clean from ALL narcotic drugs and abusing prescription medications, 7 yrs clean from smoking cigarettes, I don't smoke weed or vape, and I'm 3 years clean going on 4 from alcohol. Sometimes it felt like the worst fight ever. But it was worth it.

This is my former girlfriend Marlene. We separated because of her addiction, but I told her I still want to be her friend and help her through this. I dropped her off at treatment...but she still struggled when she got out. Today I said my last "goodbye" to her. I'm hurt. 😭
I find it funny when people say I ain't Sober. I ain't slipped once. 17 years from all narcotic drugs and abusing prescription medications, and on Christmas day it'll be 3 years from alcohol. I'm pretty proud of that. Because that sh*t was hard to do. But it was worth it.
I'm a human with feelings, so I can't be strong all the time. I just really miss my mom, dad and all my grandparents. I feel so alone in this world. No girlfriend and I don't have custody of my kids. Just sitting here anticipating the other side. Good night. I'll be okay. Thank U
I used to say "I'm sober" just because I didn't do drugs, but yet I still drank. I WAS "NOT" SOBER.
But today I can say I've been clean from all narcotic drugs and abusing prescription medications for 6,349 days AND alcohol for 1,150. 😁

People give me hell all the time for my past. (Being a drug addict and alcoholic) But I just keep smiling and go on about my business, because I don't live in the past anymore. AMEN???
Hi everyone. My name is Charles and I'm a drug addict and alcoholic in recovery.
I just wanna say that I may not have a lot of good things going on for me in life. But I'm sure loving life now that I'm sober.
NOTE: Give sobriety a chance

#RecoveryPosse
People thought I'd be a POS forever because I was a gang banger, drug addict, alcoholic, ex con, etc... But my sobriety is proving people wrong. WE CAN CHANGE . And I change for MYSELF. NOT ANYBODY ELSE. That's how this works. It's starts with YOU. You gotta WANT it.
I didn't expect to get so much support off this tweet. I'm so appreciative for all of you. Yes, I did cry last night, but now I feel better. Because today is a new day to be stronger than yesterday.

Lets get this str8, I don't have the most idealistic life. Right now I clean toilets 4 a check, I have an online business that ain't doing 2 good, and I drive 4 a service 4 only tips when it comes 2 getting paid. But I will say this, "I'm happy wit my life right now."

Hi, I'm Charles Jared Kagigebi and I'm a recovering drug addict and alcoholic.
I don't claim to be perfect. Never will. But I claim that I try to do my best every single ma'f

day. And that's perfect enough for me. Aho!! ✊🏽
Sorry everyone. I haven't really been on here in a while due to the damages the winter storms Wisconsin was hit with. I definitely lost a lot. I'm alive tho and that's what matters. Materialistic things can be replaced, right? Even in hard times, I still didn't drink either. 😃❤️
Hi. That's me today. Just keeping up with my sobriety and good health. 15 years clean of all narcotic drugs and abusing prescription medications, 5 years from cigarettes, and 1 years from alcohol. Helping others because that's what helps me.
#TogetherWeAreStrong
Addiction isn't about alcohol and drugs.
It's the absence of self. You can't love others when you're empty inside. Recovery peels back the painful layers and heals that loss through connection, honesty and hard work. To love one self is the beginning of a lifetime recovery.
Here's my business card. I take people to detox, treatment, AODA meetings, do sober activities, and I designate drive for those who can't drive for themselves.

I just blessed my friend Carmen with AA recovery symbol necklace to help remind her of the struggles she don't wanna go back to. The symbol of the circle and triangle in AA is a symbol that represents the three parts of our program (recovery, unity, and service)
#RecoveryPosse
Take a minute to think of what a recovered addict has to go through just to not go back to the poisons that fucked his/her life up. It's a rough life. Show that person a little gratitude.

I don't do drugs because I love myself.
I don't smoke cigarettes because I love myself.
I don't drink because I love myself.
I started working out because I love myself.
Because there "WAS" a time when I truly hated myself.
Because I showed up to the Boy's and Girl's Club for the Easter egg hunt, I got to enter a drawing for an Easter basket. I won!! But I gave it to my friend's daughter Serenity. She was so happy.
This is my girlfriend that passed away on my 18th birthday due to drinking and driving. I survived. This year will be 20 years since she's been gone. Today would've been her 36th birthday. She's the reason why I do the Sober Driver Project. Say

Thank you everyone that's wished me luck on this kidney donation. My labs, height, weight, and blood pressure are sent in to the Fairview hospital in Minneapolis Minnesota. Now I just gotta wait to see what's the word. I hope all is well so we can move on to helping my cousin.
It was so beautiful out there this morning at the Devil's Lake State Park. I definitely enjoyed my hike. It made me feel so cleansed in a way. Like my thoughts were pure.
#SoberHike
Just For Today:
"I will increase my state of readiness by becoming more aware of my shortcomings."
I take people to detox, treatment, AODA meetings, do sober activities during the weekend, and designate drive people "HOME" for FREE because I care. I work and go off donations to help the cause.

Thank you everybody so much for your condolences. These are the types of reasons why I never give up on our loved ones when it comes to addiction. Because you never know if it's going to be the last time you see them again.
True sh*t,
The bravest thing I ever did was to keep on living when I truly wanted to die.
I'm glad I'm here with you all today.
LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
LET'S BE THE REASON SOME SMILES TODAY.
Because you never know what's going on in one's life.

6 times in and out of the joint. God knows how much county time I did. All MAX time. A lot of people had their money bet against me. Saying I'll never change. That's okay tho, I worry about me. What I'm here to tell you is, "RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE." You just gotta want it.

Tonight on

news at 10:00 pm, I'll be on there for the "Sober Driver Project" I started on the (LCO) Lac Courte Oreilles band of the Ojibwe Tribe. I designed it to take people to detox, treatment, AODA meetings, do sober activities, and designate drive people HOME.
My best friend on the left is 34 years old with cirrhosis. She's been diagnosed with it since 32. I'm telling you, it hurts to see your friend die slowly over the results of heavy drinking. These are the things people don't think about when it comes to drinking alcohol.
