Grateful to be grateful having the chance at recovery and a new healthy start

I will be 1 year 4 mo. in continuous clean time, living and learning to be a better me one day at a time. I have learned in the past year what the other addicts all them years in disgust coming to meetings and being all wrapped up in my head that these people knew something that all I had to do was live by example and do as they do, but to stubborn to figure that out. Now in it to win it, I feel healthier and happier, stronger and more confident about where I am in my sobriety. I know that I can love myself and love another and not judge another’s road, but support them, but it takes a lot of self-control, and I always have to remember to stay in my lane. Life is good knowing I am crazy and sober, crazy and watching the people around me fighting their addictions, and seeing what I used to be. No more, I am a healthy Benjamin, grateful and happy!

Very happy for you, Benjamin! Clean & sober for 1 yr & 4 months is outstanding and you deserve all the credit. Keep being you, friend! It’s a great life when we are living and not just existing.
