I wasn't going to post anything under this...yet, because I don't entirely feel that I have the right to be grateful for anything. Then I thought: God still loves me, and probably even more so during times of struggle (because that's when we need it the most), and even after all the relapses and shots at detox...and an overdose or 2, I am STILL HERE! I SURVIVED THE OVERDOSES...I am the one that asked for help to get myself to detox EVERY TIME...I KEEP having "slip-ups" and having to start over again, but I AM STILL HERE! I realized that BECAUSE God loves me, I am STILL HERE, and I DO have the right to be thankful for that. Each day that I continue to wake up is ANOTHER CHANCE at regaining my sobriety. It's another chance to become even better than the person I was BEFORE addiction. I am thankful for the fact that as many times as I continue to let myself down by relapsing, I have been lucky enough to still be here. I am thankful that I woke up today and I have another opportunity to do better today than I did yesterday.
