Today I’m grateful for having my own personal space.
When I was using I had no place to go.. no place that I could call home. I would tell myself that the phrase “There’s no place like home” meant that there was literally “no place” that existed that was like home.. Like it was this unattainable place that I would never get to experience again. When I needed rest I would be couch surfing in someone else’s space, hoping no one was gonna snatch my belongings while I slept. I would often sleep in my car to avoid all that… I would try to find a decent parking garage or a place to post up for the night, hoping that I didn’t have to wake up to someone knocking on my windows telling me that I needed to leave. There is this unsettling anxiety that comes with being somewhere you feel you don’t belong. Today I woke up feeling calm, rested, and safe.
Today, I am so grateful to have a place to call home.

So deep. So personal. So real. I'm grateful for your honesty. Your ability to express and explain your painful experience. I'm most grateful for your sobriety. Thank you for sharing today.

I’m so happy for you for sure because there is definitely no place like home and once you have your own place it’s like you didn’t realize how nice it is !

Thank you! 🩷
Being home is a sense of well being that no other destination can compare. HOME is utopia on steroids…
