Someone once told me that time is the greatest gift you can give anyone, the older I get the more truth I see in that statement. Most people take time for granted yet all of us before we met our end know that it's the most precious thing we have in this life. Time can't be bought, sold, or rewound. Once a moment of time has passed it is forever lost only to be relived in our memories. People say that time is money, but I never could understand that. What would you give to get back time and what price would you put on every minute of that time. Time comes and goes without anyone really even noticing until it's shows itself in the mirror or on our loved ones faces. I remember being told as a kid to use my time wisely, that may be the best advice anyone could ever give. When you find yourself wasting time contemplate the price you or someone would pay for those moments, we would all serve ourselves better if we remember that time never stops ticking. I hope I never forget to always give the ones I love most the greatest gift I could ever give them "MY TIME"
Jeff so true and love everthing u said even tho it wasn’t meant for recovery dosent mean it can be use for recovery plp have to use what work for them if they in it for the long ride. The more u understand ur life and what got u to change the more u fine recovery in anything as long as u believe in it in ur self. I know that what I got out of ur powerful words u know what I’ll pay to time to change my life everything befor I allow my addiction to take over my life. And it’s something I won’t ever get back but it’s something I won’t let my addiction get ahold of my life cuz I know it’s never was worth it now that time as pass and it’s not coming if back and I’ll accept everthing that coming my way thank u plz don’t stop sharing
Thank you so much I really appreciate your kind words and I agree 
% with everything you said, everyday is a challenge in one way or another but if we just take one day at a time and sometimes every minute at a time we can be success stories instead of statistics I will pray for you and keep up the good fight.
I've got more writings but they are not all recovery based, some have to do with jail and other things but if you want to read them I would be glad to share them with you
