Second Chance
A very sunny day in Seattle. I wanted to have another indulgent weekend, but I rather wanted to do something more respectful for myself. So went to a conference for the people on recovery.
I have been in this 12-step programme for 6 years, which saved my life from going crazy. I heard many people in my programme and the other one who shared their experiences, strength and hope, which is how the programmes work.
Real people, real life. Telling the truth without fear.
Many times, I got teary, thinking about the last 6 years of my recovery. All of my pains and struggles took me where I am today. I was reminded once again of many things I am grateful for that I now have in my life.
I’ve come so far.
I feel truly blessed that I was given a second chance. I am on the right path. I am not a graceful driver of life, however, I’ve got my vehicle and know how to drive. Slowly but surely I am moving forward.
