New and Grateful - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

betrue2yourself · 06-05-2008, 06:28 PM

I am new here...the first time I read this forum is when I was in withdrawal...it wasn't easy because I was so uncomfortable. I never knew so many others felt the same way.

I am grateful I am no longer out in the street
I am grateful that I have food to eat.
I am grateful that I have my own apt...and car!!!!!
I am grateful that I no longer live in fear of being assaulted everyday...

The list is truly endless...now I just have to figure out who I am...I struggle with my identity...seems I've lost it...and no longer know what to do...how to dress, what my "style" is...the "type" of person I am.

I count on it coming...slowly but surely. So many miracles have happened already. Thanks for reading my humble post....

I am also "New and Grateful." My list could take all night to write. I will just jot down a few items:

- I'm grateful to be clean after an eight-year relapse!
- I'm grateful the Universe has taken care of all my needs: health, home, car, finances.
- I'm grateful for spirituality and its principles that make it possible to stay clean

Congratulations, I am hoping that similar words come out of my husbands mouth before his drinking affects our child. It is inspiring to see that there is hope out there.
