My family says that they have forgiven me so I assume that if they can then of course God must have too. At least I hope so! When I get tempted to pickup again, I think of all the things God has given to me in my life that I am grateful for. At least I can be a good sober/clean Mom for my kids!

I think spirituality does play a big part in my recovery.
