the topic was the benefits of sobriety. another asked do you mean gratitude. i couldnt wait to share my thoughts.

my name is greg. i am an addict an a alcoholic. and.

i can honestly say that theirs has not one aspect of my life, has not benefited from my sobriety. and i am so grateful that i didnt give up on it. ( in all those hurtful months after i quit using ) before i got to know what real sobriety is.

when i quit using i had no memory of what sobriety was. i had no idea what it was like. i had been a alcoholic addict since i was 18 and i was 45 at the time.

i just wanted to know what sobriety was like before i kicked the bucket. and i can honestly say it is worth every tear i cried for it.

dont give up before the miracle happens.

thats all ive got.

Hi Greg,

Good to read you - as always! Isn't it good to know all those tears where not shed in vain? Coming out the other side is looking better and better every day, (though some days are much harder than others.)

Don't be such a stranger!

Much Love,

IMO the miracle is always happening...we just go blind to it.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

We are reborn with new visions of life.

We came from hell and found freedom

to enjoy what has always been there
right in front of us.
That feels good.
