I am grateful for so many things I could spend

I am grateful for so many things I could spend my entire day listing them.

I am grateful for the heroin dealer for without her I would not have realized my problem nor my purpose. I am grateful for the spirit which pushed me to seek help. I am grateful for the women and men that helped me in rehab and for the medical professionals and VA reps that continue to take interest in my recovery. I am grateful to my family for without them I would be dead. I am grateful for my friends that continue to encourage me, love me and tolerate me. I am grateful for this app and all the wonderful people on it. I am grateful for sobriety, both yours, theirs and mine.

I am so grateful!

What a gift indeed. It is like the scales have been removed from our eyes and we can see yet again. Like being given a second chance at life.

Love this and so true. We don’t always look back like that. Thank you. If it wasn’t for my detox hospital and the recovery team they set me up with, I wouldn’t be here and have this free life.

Amen to that. Thank you for sharing that. I owe my life to a good many folks. This community included. Without purpose for this pain, sobriety would be but a fleeting moment. I am grateful. Extremely.

Thanks, brother. I appreciate that. Not every day, that is for sure, but most days I do try.

Thank you for the kind words. I certainly don't see it that way, but I appreciate your words and perspective nonetheless. At the end of the day, working with fellow addicts has given me a purpose that I never had in life, perhaps even throughout my service in the military. Being a father is of course my priority, yet even with that, this purpose makes me a better father, than I would be if I just sobered up and moved on with life, never looking back and contributing none to the problem.
