Today has been one of those days. The kind of day where you wake up happy to be sober, the kind of day where you have interactions with people and instead of fearing or hating you, they laugh and thank you.
The kind of day where I make breakfast and remember the times when I couldn’t hold food down or remember I would go days without anything but drugs and alcohol in my system.
The kind of day when I can call my mother and hear her laugh instead of hearing the worry in her voice about if I was okay or if I would ever come back home.
The kind of day where I can look in the mirror happy and proud, and not ask myself with hated and disgust, “why are you like this?”
The kind of day where I am beyond grateful for the gift of recovery and remind myself that I am not alone on this journey.
Today has been everything I used to pray for, used to hope for, and at one time, even the kind of day I gave up on having.
Just for Today- I will cherish this moment, and realize how far I’ve come, and I will celebrate that these days are my best life.
