dreams of recovery vs. what it is

mine are simple, get out of debt, work the hours to do that, and one day when that happens, find someone to share life with wherever it goes sober. I'm a long, long way from that happening.

sober dreams to reality, what are yours.

From day one I have heard if I made a list of everything I wanted out of recovery, I would have sold myself WAY short.

So far, i have found that to be true.

When i got sober i wanted people to leave me alone and the pain to go away.

I was almost bankrupt, lost my house, no friends, losing my cars and my wife.

Now I have a group of friends that I love dearly and a life I could have never imagined.

Going back to school for an engineering degree when 3 years ago that would have been the last thing on my mind.

Paid off an enormous amount of debt to get here and sometimes I am scared to death but I trudge on with the help of my sponsor and home group.

Life is good!

It only gets better from here!

Today I would be happy if someday someone would tell me that I was instrumental in their recovery.

I simply wish to become lovable. That my persona will match what is in my mind and has always been in my mind. We addicts are among the world's most loving people, but are the most inept at receiving and giving it. Go figure.

I'm not referring to relationship lovable, necessarily. I've received much love here, actually. Because I've been open to it. For too long I felt undeserving. I closed myself to love. That is changing.

All else will take care of itself.

My dream coming in was to live without fear, and I am grateful that recovery has made my dream come true.

Now my dream is to live by the water and watch the sunrise and listen to the birds sing, as I begin each day...hey, that dream came true too.

My newest dream is to live well and live long..I've got a lot of lost time to make up for. I hope I never waste another single day.

Hugs

Thats wonderful. Exactly how I feel. I just want my husband (who is an addict) to find his purpose and fulfill it. God has given so many chances and he forsakes them. We have so many blessings, yet he turns his back. I cant give up one him. Who will I spend eternity with if he doesnt get it?
