wanna know one thing I like about staying clean?

NEVER HAVING TO HIDE ANYTHING!

{{{{{{ hugz to all}}}}}

Life is a mystery. It is a gift.
Don't dare miss even a moment of it.
Yesterday was a lesson, today is a prayer,
Tomorrow would mean nothing,
If I can't find you there !

yes, gaining self respect is a good way to heal, and my self confidance now soars! I love who I have become, I learned alot about the world on the streets, and after i was abducted and held hostage for 5 days, I swore if I survived I would change and I almost died when I was rescued and put in the hospital but I guess that promise to myself and my strong will helped me to survive. I knew then I had a job to do and that is to help anyone who needs help recovering from substance abuse. I thank my God every day for this chance!
