I really didn't want to go to a meeting last night. I wanted to isolate. I realized how bad this would've been for my recovery yesterday, so I went. I'm really glad I did. I saw an old friend who was in treatment with me on a farm-bootcamp-rehab. I didn't think I would ever see him alive again. And not just is he alive, he is in recovery. I hardly ever see people from that rehab who are clean. I know that about nine of them have died from this illness. Whenever I hear that someone is dead I am grateful that it is not me. I am also grateful for the reality check on the outcome of addiction. Addiction kills.
Despite the bad day I had yesterday, today I am okay. Thank goodness this is a just for today program! I can carry on with my recovery and my life. And my Higher Power still loves me!
