Recovery Month Extravaganza 2024!
It is always a good time to reminisce about how far you have come in your journey and now is particularly a good time since September is Recovery Month!
I think of my friend Sunshine Scotty who on a daily says that he is “Grateful and Happy” when someone asks how he is doing, even when things may not be going so happily, he is grateful and happy to be alive.
This helps me remember that 16 years ago, you were more likely to step over or walk around me as I was passing out on NYC sidewalks than reading our monthly newsletter here. If I wasn’t being politely escorted out of places, I was literally thrown out.
I had been fired from the bar I was working at, the artists I worked with couldn’t get rid of me fast enough and the two friends that I had continuously reminded me of what an ass I was the night before. I had nothing going on, nothing to do. No one was interested and no one cared, let alone wanted to have anything to do with me.
The fact that my life no longer looks like that today truly is a gift.
Today, I have purpose, something to get out of bed and put my shoes on for.
Today, I have many people in my life who also want mein theirs!
(See the SUPER special “Team By CHOiCE” cookie that wegot from our teammates at our end of the Summer gathering? I would have never imagined this precovery!)
Today, I love me better than ever!
