Recovering...One Moment at a Time

I've attending a couple of meetings in the last week that have provided me with an understanding of keep coming back, it works if you work it, and you are worth it. That statement hit me all of a sudden this morning and gave me a sudden lightning bolt of enlightenment. I walked out of a meeting this morning and for the first time, truly felt like I am on the path to recovery that my HP wants me to take.....and it felt good. My path to recovery is trying, gut wrenching, scary, emotionally draining, and overwhelming at times, but I am so grateful for it! For the first time last night in an Al-Anon meeting I was able to say.....I'm grateful for my relationship with the alcoholic that was in my life, because it was that relationship that got me to realize that my life was unmanageable, insane, and I wanted a better life for myself. I haven't been able to say that in the past and truly mean it, but I can now. Thanks for letting me share yet another one of my "aha moments" with all of you!
