Wow, I could see a lot of myself, especially in that first para of your last post. I hope I'm writing something like that in a year.
-TB, inspired all of a sudden
I hope you can write something like that in a year as well. I know that at my lowest point I certainly yearned for the day when I could say such things and that they would true, and finally today, they are. In the last year, I drew great strength from the inspiration I provided to others close me and the actions they took in their own lives based on it, and also here on SR the same thing just a little less personal maybe, but who knows what's really going on that I don't even know about. That dynamic might be one of, if not the, single greatest tool I have used to get to where I am today. As I was inspired by James Hetfield, so too do I apparently inspire others and that's just a great thing and, as noted a few posts up, so important to my sobriety.
