"Do I ever wish my path had been easier? Sure!
But, if that had happened I wouldn't be who I am today "
Thank you Saskia for sharing. And yes I absolutely
agree with all you wrote and more so with the quote
above.
All we go thru in life no matter who we
are, we can either ride above it or allow
it to bring us down. And yes, addiction
to alcohol tried to bring me down yrs ago,
however, with being placed in proper hands
to be taught about it and given the gift of
knowledge and a capable mind to learn it,
then I was able to conquer all those demons
associated with it.
Im sure there are many members here in
SR that may not realize how much of a
survivor they are today. The further away
from the fog of addiction, the clearer you
will see that you, many of you, if not all of
you, no matter where you are in life, in some
way or another, are survivors of lifes obsticals.
Whether it be domestic, physical, financial,
spiritual, emotional, in addiction, out of
addiction, associated with addiction, family
situations, trauma of some sort, abuse, etc.
we are all affected by them, but with all the
help aavailable today for us to learn from,
grow from, rise above them, we become stronger,
healthier, happier, freer than ever before.
Now that's what im talking about.
