I am pretty darn proud of being in recovery because I'm in a very exclusive club and if anyone professional or private wants to know about my past all they have to do is ask. I'm simply not that person anymore and few can say that they completely changed their lives with all of the change being in a positive direction. I still have lots of problems but I'm working on them to the best of my abilities and no one can expect more. I answer to God and myself so what others think of me is none of my business..
I cringe when I think of the past but the past is the past. It will always be there but I choose to live in the day.
