9 Months Today

I used to be down and out, I didn't know the freedom that existed.\
I lost everything but my life, today I'm learning the meaning of recovery and gratitude and humility, I want to live!!!1
I didn't have the power of choice, I didn't use yesterday, today I can look at myself in the mirror without that oh so powering guilt and shame! Today I have the power of choice!!!!
The promises are starting to come true, how do I know when I'm close to half way through?! lol
I lived in darkness, today I choose to live in the light!!! For 5 months i slept with a light on just to literally stay in the light!!!
I lost my job, my car, my home, my beautiful girls, today I have a job after 4 years, i don't have to go in hung over or call in sick with the 26 oz flu, i have a bus pass, i have a home and actually enjoy being here, my relationship with my daughters is growing stronger every day, One of them is back with me xo
I am learning and growing everyday thanks to recovery and the people and places that cross my path are inspiring me to stay in the light. I have faith in myself, I never thought I'd say that!!!! \\// peace and thanks for being here all!!!!! As long as I don't pick up today I will stay safe and smilin!!!!!

This is so nice you sharing with your mother.

Having a cam is a God Send. When, you have family far away. I went out the 4th of July at midnight and bought a cam so I could chat with my son.

Reading your posts brings a smile
