What are the chances?
Does anyone think that "normal" non-drinkers or users appreciate waking up and feeling great? Do they even notice how great they feel? Does anyone think they realize how lucky they are to have not been in that "fog" for so many years. Or better yet, do you think those "normal" folk have to walk around in there own "fog" due to certain things going on in their lives, i.e. stress, relationships, work, etc. I personally think the many years of "fog" will make me appreciate and cherish every day I walk this earth till I am gone. Maybe addiction was a blessing in disguise.
I never really thought of the lyrics to this song, but for me, it applies here:
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
