I have lived at the same apartment for the last ten years. I have had years of living by myself and
years of living with roommates. I had a
job for five years. It has been the
most stable living situation in my adult life.
The last 14 months have been volatile for me starting with an eight month
relapse after seven years of sobriety.
The last six months have been a time of spectacular spiritual and
emotional growth along with a strong influx of mindfulness.
Last November, it was not clear whether I would die homeless and alone
in a gutter or get sober again. Today, I
am surrounded by love and support from people that love me.
I am much closer to being the person my higher power always intended me
to be—kind, generous, loving, calm and thoughtful. Well, at least a lot more than ever before in
my life. Progress, not perfection.
I am grateful for the miraculous personal growth I have achieved in the
last six months.
