On vacation this week with my children and grandchildren I
once more recognize how sobriety has blessed me.
Because they live in Orange County, California – as I did during
most of my addiction - they sometimes fill me in on what has happened with former using buddies.
Some are sick from drinking and using. Others are in prison,
never to be released. Many have
over-dosed or passed away.
While this kind of news can be depressing, it highlights how
God smiled on me when I was able to finally get sober. While I used to ponder on why some get sober
and some don’t, today I’m not that philosophical.
I’m simply grateful for my sober life.
