Today we are grateful for the gift of support- even if we feel alone. I used to be one of those guys who balked at the fellowship- and as I sit inside this Denny’s overcome by so many negative emotions, I am grateful that there are so many people who have been where I am at.
Yes, I feel alone, but we never do recovery alone. Someone somewhere, is feeling what I feel. Pain, regret, loneliness, and instead of giving into to that pain, I am going to keep going. While this day was rough, it was a gift. It’s a day someone else didn’t get to live. It’s a day where I get to go to bed, I get to wake up tomorrow, and I am going to hit that pillow tonight with the assurance that tomorrow is a better day.
I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but I am going to be grateful for it, and I am going to do everything in my power to pursue life with the same passion I pursued my destruction.
Thank you God for another day. And thank you for the strength of the fellowship.
