Gratitude...

I love sobriety...anyone that does not love it, is not living it...

I have so much to be grateful for. I had a chance to look back at myself yesterday to about two years ago when all this began...the fear and pain I experienced then is nothing compared now to the happiness and freedom I live every day presently. My son is now in drugcourt, and even though I know by experience that he has a painful process to go through, I also know that he has a chance now to learn how to live his life, and be a responsible adult, free of the dis-ease and horror of being enslaved and trapped by drug and alcohol addiction. The pain and fear I saw in his eyes yesterday, tugged at my heart, and what I was looking at was my own pain and suffering that has since been turned into a healthy and happy existence. I just got home from a meeting...there was so much laughter and happiness in this room filled with a bunch of drunks, many still recoverying, and many that have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind...this deal is doable...I mean for real...I am now a published author! I mean in less then two years, I have seen myself climb from the very depths of despair, from losing everything, even my freedom, to being an emotional stable human being, learning how to make healthy decisions, and being a responsible adult. I am even considering a relationship. LOL...a healthy one at that! Awesome stuff indeed...life's a trip, and a sober life, is a trip to heaven...
