The addictions and obsessions just indicated that I was emotionally vulnerable and use to escape from how I felt with in my self.

In time I got to understand what recovery meant to me.

For me recovery means healing my pains.

The recovery program is not about being right wrong good or bad, it is about how I become much healthier in my self and find ways to heal the hurt inner child in me.

I do not do things reluctantly or resentfully, it is a much healthier path doing thinsg willingly and feeling good with in my self.

To learn from my mistakes and improve my ambitions and motivations. 

By becoming healthier I do nto ahve to lie today.

I do not try and justify doing or saying things which are unhealthy.

Becoming self sufficient takes time.

Being nurturing ad enciouraing towards my self also takes time.

The recovery program is not about rushing at things, but taking thinsg more slowly.

There is no way I coud tell you how many meetings I have been to or how many people I have met in the last 54 years in the recovery program.

Each person was some one to learn from and to listen to.

I am not a loner today.

Yes my life is well worth living today.

Love and peace to every one.
