It’s 530am, nice and quiet, perfect for some reflection. I’m full of Gratitude that I’m free today. I’m walking the same streets and the waterfront where I was an insane drug addict for years. I’ve literally experienced two lives, active addiction and then my recovery, the Greatest thing that’s happened to me! I’ve been able to do a lot of things, accomplish some big goals in recovery, but nothing gives me a sense of purpose and satisfaction as when I’m sharing my story, sharing hope with another who’s suffering. There’s life after he**in addiction, alcoholism, whatever self-imposed prison you’re in!
I was walking past the Custom House Marriott, the doorman said, “good morning sir” to which I replied “good morning, you might find this hard to believe, but I used to shoot he**in evey morning in the bathroom in this joint, but that was another life, I’m a free man today.” He replied, “Amazing sir.”
Amen brother, amen.
