It’s a Great Day to be Alive!
Day 14,975
It is, isn’t it? 41 years. 492 months. 14,975 days! It’s a true miracle for me to still be here, and I learn a little more every day. I continue to learn more about myself, especially, and I am very grateful to be alive and have experienced the things I have (as painful as it’s been at times), known the people I have (whether they are still in my life or not), and been given the opportunities I have (though sometimes I squandered them). I am extremely grateful for my children and all they have given me, especially how they have filled my heart. Today I get to be sober and live my best life. True, I may not be in what I might consider an ideal situation—closest to those I love dearly—but if I was loaded, I’d miss out on everything and everyone entirely or perhaps not even still be alive. I pray today for those still suffering alcoholics and addicts that they may find their way before it’s too late.
