"I may know, today, in the depths of my being, that getting high or drunk is spiritual death, mental illness, and ultimately physical death. But given enough time in my own head, I will choose that path." I think that's one of the hardest things for non-alcoholics/addicts to understand. But it's essential for people in recovery to never forget it.
Such a beautiful, honest share, C.L. And yes! Love this gift of sobriety: "the ability to handle adversity and joy with the same heart."
Thank you for the opportunity, Dana.
Thank you for a great message, C.L.
