Grateful I am an alcoholic
today i am grateful to be an alcoholic.
Bc of it (through sobriety) i have
- met people who genuinely care
- found comfort in doing nothing
- found a Higher Power who can understand me
- learned i dont have to have an answer
- become honest
- treat people with respect
- do things for people just to do them
- become spiritually healthy
- like who i am
and
- actually enjoy life - good and bad
i watch "normal" people who may never get to experience what i have gotten bc i am an alcoholic... they will never have to be honest with themselves or anyone... they dont have any restrictions or threats that could possibly lead to a drink and their demise... they go on day to day never knowing all of these things bc they will never be forced into my situation.
