my daily reflections…

im grateful today for the gifts recovery has given me. its given me a new life, a new vision, and a way of livin that i never thought possible. but ive also learned that these gifts dont stay with me unless i share them. if i keep them locked inside, i lose touch with the very thing that saved me. when i first came in, people gave me things i didnt even know i needed, things like unconditional forgiveness, hope, and love. those things dont cost much, but to me they were priceless. i remember how powerful it was to have someone look me in the eye and tell me i was worth savin, even when i didnt believe it myself. i remember the relief of knowin that somebody understood me, without judgment. those moments helped me through times when i didnt think i could make it. thats why its my responsibility today to pass those gifts on. when i give away forgiveness, when i share hope, when i show love, it not only helps someone else, it strengthens my own recovery. thats the beauty of this program: the more i give, the more i get to keep. 1 day @ a time…
