I am 46 years old today. Hard to believe. I never thought I would make it past 30. I survived: One suicide attempt 8 years as an active addict A few overdoses An attempt on my life Being held violently against my will Rape My emotions. Against my best attempts to self destruct, here I am. You are a big part of that. Yes, I mean YOU. If it wasn't for helping others, I might not have made it this far. Recovery has Ups and Downs. You encourage me when I am down. You tell me to keep going. I tell you recovery is possible. I ask you to be safe. The world is a series of interwoven stories. I am glad you are part of mine. 46 years on this earth. Love to you all.
