”No eyes that have seen beauty ever lose
their sight.”

I
have only recently stated realize just how my much my addiction dulled my
senses to the world around me, at least for the things that did not feed my
fantasies. It really is sad when I look back at everything I have missed out
on or the experiences that have been barely half-lived. Being sober and
reconnected to the world in a new and deeper way is bringing so much more
meaning to my life than my addiction ever promised.
I
want to continue to drink in the joys of life. I have so many more things to
be grateful for, and I make sure to let my Higher Power know. I am so lucky,
like others who have found the power of the 12 Steps before me, to have been
given a second chance. I know now that I will truly live the rest of my life
rather than simply existing from moment to moment.
The
program is fast becoming the basic principle of how I want to live out the
rest of my days. The steps apply to my own recovery, to how I treat others,
how I perform at work and pretty much every aspect of my life. I will be in
recovery today, and hopefully all the todays that remain to come my way, by
the grace of the God of my understanding.

Affirmation
By
my new found faith in my Higher Power I have seen the error of my ways. With
new eyes I will discover all the beauty the world has to offer.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
