A Wonderful Mistake
At almost 9 month sober, I am doing a lot of reflecting.
I know that I need to continue making positive changes in my life if I want to keep this precious gift ~ for sobriety is indeed a gift.
Every day I come here, and every day I smile, feel inspired, feel loved, and can return that love to the wonderful people who come to SR.
I am truly blessed.
There is a little question on our profile pages: "How did you find SR?"
To be honest, I've been wondering that for quite some time.
So today with a little time on my hands, I did some investigating.
The answer is kind of funny, and I wanted to share.
When I came here in November last year, I was very, very drunk.
I knew that I had joined a recovery website a few years ago, and I Googled.
No idea what I put in the search box, but somehow this site came up.
I remember thinking it looked different, but hey, I was drunk.
I had no idea what my username/passwords were, so I started again.
That beginning was the very best thing that has ever happened to me in my life.
This place is home to me now; the members here are family and beloved friends.
I could not imagine my life without SR.
So the funny part?
The recovery site I had previously joined was not SR at all.
I made a mistake that night, and got here completely by accident.
Someone was looking out for me that night;
and I am eternally grateful to be here with all of you every single day.
Much love,
Venus xx
