I am grateful to be celebrating 14 years of sobriety today on 12/12! Such a miracle for this once hopeless alcoholic and drug addict. It was jails, institutions, and near-death experiences for me! RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE. 💜
If you struggle with addiction or are hurting by watching your loved one in addiction, please know you can always send me a DM if you need someone to talk to. You are worthy of joy, love, peace, health, and abundance, and it is all possible for you.
If you’ve lost someone to addiction I send you so much love and healing. I too, know this pain.
If you are in sobriety, I see you!! Keep it up. 💓
I’m grateful for everything I have been through and for everyone in my life. I’m grateful for you. Thank you!! Life is a miracle.

The Promises
(From pages 83-84 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are halfway through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self- seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook on life will change. Fear of people and economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us - sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
