my daily reflections…

i would have really never thought that the adage of, "ya gotta go thru hell before ya can get to heaven," would ever really play out in my life. just as the readin says "the paradox" has come true in my life (i just hope there aint any more hell to go thru). as hard as it was to live thru, in the end im grateful i got to. it has given me strength, courage, peace, serenity, hope, forgiveness, and love, it has brought me back to God, somethin i lost way back then. though there are many things i wish i could have back from my days prior to recovery, i wouldnt change too much from today. im blessed to be able to have this regeneration of life, a second chance at life, so to speak. the last days of my life before comin into recovery i would wish on no one, but from those last days of complete defeat and weakness, a new life has arisen, a life of accomplishment and strength. i am both thankful and grateful fer this paradox of recovery. ty Lord fer thinkin bout me im alive ‘n doin fine. 1 day @ a time…
