I'm so Grateful

I'm so Grateful

I'm so grateful that GOD
has delivered me from drugs,
and now I go to NA meetings
where I receive lots of hugs.
I'm so grateful today that money
does not burn a hole in my hands,
and I no longer run to give it to the drug man.
I'm so grateful to have a roof over my head,
life on the other side, I would probably be dead.
I'm so grateful to have a network of recovering friends,
who I know will be with me till the end.

I'm so grateful to have GOD in my heart,
for he has given me a brand new start,
I'm so grateful for my pastor at church,
because listening to him share
the words of God I have learned so much.
I'm so grateful to now be singing in the choir,
and it's all due to my higher power.
I'm so grateful because life on this side is so good,
Although I'd never thought I could do it,
my family always knew that I could.

I'm so grateful that recovery allows me to share
my experiences, hopes and strength with others,
and by doing so I'm allowed to go further.
I'm so grateful that God wakes me
every morning with "Peace of mind,"
because finally I left my other life behind
I'm so grateful that I know who I am and why I'm here,
God has also delivered me from fear

I'm so grateful to finally have a normal life,
although it's times that it's hard,
but with GOD living in my Heart, Mind and Soul
I will continue to do my part.

Being grateful for a forum like this one, are the things in life, that one should be grateful for. Apologizing in case, at times, it seems I have overstepped my bounds, is one way of showing it. I must always maintain my level of gratitude, for the salvation I have experienced from drugs and alcohol, for all that I have lost in life, is a direct result of those two evils and my relationship with them.
