"Why Being in Addiction Recovery Could Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You"

I found this recovery article to be incredibly inspiring. It's an "every-cloud-has-a-silver-lining" type article, and speaking only for myself, I try to always find the positive in what seems like a negative (or I at least attempt to learn and grow from whatever hurdle life throws at me).

Hopefully some of you will find it helpful.

Peace

I agree very much with the article - with all the improvements in my life and myself sometimes it's almost as tho me not drinking is the least of the changes

thanks for sharing T2R

This paragraph really spoke to me:

"I became intrinsically motivated by my own growth & progress and I keep moving closer to who I am meant to be. I stopped fighting the addiction and instead spend my energies on building my new life filled with things and people I love. The focus shifted from what I feel I have lost to what I gain on a daily basis by being in sobriety. I actually believe that my tomorrows hold more promise than my yesterdays ever could have and that even though I felt unlucky at the start, I now know I am the luckiest. "
