It’s the simple thing in sobriety that truly change my life. As I walk the campus with a morning coffee, I saw this ornament hanging on the tree. I used to hate pictures of myself. Drunk, dopesick, tired- and today I take selfies with family or friends.
It’s a small short gesture- but to someone like me, as a guy who used to live to use and use to live, today I am grateful for the simple things like coffee, short walks in the morning.
Is life perfect? No. But I’m not using- and that’s a victory in itself. Just for today, I will be grateful for big and small victories.
