“Today is a new day. Hiding from your history only shackles you to it. We can’t undo a single thing we have ever done, but we can make decisions today that propel us to the life we want and towards the healing that we need. On this day you surrendered. You mustered up some courage and asked for help. You began a new way of life. Slowly, you became honest. You sought to help others. You became a giver. You took less. You began to feel pleasure, pain, sadness, and joy. On this day you got sober.”
