It is good to be on this side of addiction. I feel genuinely happier in my heart and life. To see my family in the state that I am in.. i just love. I don't have to hide myself or lie or feel shameful. I never did have to, but I obviously did. Whenever I was asked before, "How are you doing?" I felt like it was a threat and I wished no one would ask me. I would avoid people for that reason or get mad when I was asked. I saw that question as a threat! When I am asked this same question now I jump on the answer. I can't help but say that I. AM. SO. GRATETUL. And mean it.
Picture is random. My Grandpa and I.
