Our trail of wreckage is only as long as we make it, and we're the only ones who can choose to put an end to it. You don't have to put the puzzle back together Patrick, you can create a new life if you choose to remain clean and sober. It can start now, but you have to make the commitment.

I'm sorry you're hurting and I wish it wasn't such a struggle for you. And one more thing.....let others love you until you can love yourself. In recovery, we're not haters.

I'm sorry you're hurting, but I'm glad you're here.

One of the things the Big Book says about alcoholism:

If a person has cancer all are sorry for him and no one is angry or hurt. But not so with the alcoholic illness, for with it there goes annihilation of all the things worth while in life. It engulfs all whose lives touch the sufferer's. It brings misunderstanding, fierce resentment, financial insecurity, disgusted friends and employers, warped lives of blameless children, sad wives and parents—anyone can increase the list.
That's part of alcoholism, and we've all experienced it.

What will you do differently this time?

Sobriety is a journey that is very slow at times. The people that come into our lives are truly gifts that assist us in out journey. When I was active I had no idea what my character defects were or how they played out in my daily activities, my relationships with others and myself. People are placed in my path and I am grateful for their presence.

I look at you and I celebrate the fact that you are willing to take a look at things and grow.

I agree with Astro - our trail of wreckage is only as long as we let it get, man.
