Grateful to be an addict?

Yes, crazy I know. But think about it. Most people go through life thinking they know who they are and have it all figured out but deep down really don't, and a lot are actually ugly on the inside and think they aren't. Going through life blind to their selfishness and pride etc...we have this disease as a catalyst to make us look deep down and change all of that with the help of others while also helping others in return. That is just beautiful to me. Recovery isn't about staying sober, it is about growing mentally and spiritually into the best person we can be, little by little like a river smoothing a stone.

I love this ! It’s a awesome way of looking at addiction when it feels like a curse

Trust me, I cried out a lot (and cried lol) asking why do I have to be this way. Once I just accepted it for what it was it got a lot easier. It is def a blessing and a curse but it's all about perspective.
