Suic,
Sounds like you're really finding your way.
I remember what a relief it was for me to finally comprehend , I was not "the center of the universe " .....because the desperate, drinking/drugging self absorbed person I had become hadn't the foggiest clue what it meant to be grateful. Grateful, like you said, to be alive ; even.
Like you,........... this morning, ..... and later tonight before I go to sleep,
........grateful to be sober one more day.
Grateful to know I'm really only responsible for my efforts, and realizing I have absolutely no control over the outcome of them.
Stay Strong ....and thanks for the post tonight.
Sober in Carolina
