Prior to coming into recovery, my life did not really have any purpose. I was just trying to make it through the day with no real direction. A bonafide member of the rat race. I guess the closest thing I had to a purpose was during the last three years being a father. But, there again, although I felt incredible love for my then only son, I was just trying to make it through the day. Continuously reacting to life's circumstances. Rather than taking actions to create some direction.

When your life has no purpose, it has no meaning. And that is a dark and desperate place. What an incredible and unforeseen turn of events that my greatest burden in life yielded a purpose for my life. That being to become and remain sober. Then take that experience and offer it to other such sufferers wherever and whenever I can.

It's one kind of blessing to have a purpose in life. But it's a whole other level to have one that is so spiritually rewarding.
