This beautifully sums up our current journeys. We have all shown amazing strength and determination in overcoming our addictions and giving ourselves one more chance at living life. Yet it is extremely fragile. We are one bad mood, one bad decision away from tumbling back into the dark morass from which we pulled ourselves out of. There really is no guarantee that any of us would survive a fall. Mostly, I realize how precious and fragile this is, but at times I am complacent and take it for granted. Remember always to nurture, embrace and enjoy this second chance to make the most of our remaining time on this planet.
