When I think life isn’t fair I also think about the wife with the husband who is having a affair with a eighteen year old, and the ex who is in jail and can’t afford to pay child support, or the ex that is sleeping with someone’s best friend who ends up in jail and can’t pay child support. When I think about this before I take action that might implicate others. I think no you know I ain’t ever had it so good. Besides I have aPS5. And I bet a lot of them wish they would have never meet Mr or Mrs wrong or right as the case may be.

I love how you reframed "life isn't fair" Another way I refrain "life isn't fair" is looking how life favored me when I didn't deserve it. I shoplifted to support my addiction. I was caught exponentially fewer times than I got away. Eventually I was caught enough times to put myself in jail. However "life wasn't fair" and I spent a year in jail instead of several years in prison. More often than not, when things go beyond what I deserve, It's an opportunity to be grateful that "life isn't fair".

Yeah, lucky also. I struggled early in sobriety with not really having a place to stay. I mean I always did. Even If I stayed at a friends or something. One day I was walking along the street and I realized I was not going to have to deal with it forever. I just had faith something would work out. And I realized how lucky I was to be sober and working towards a new future.
