A New Year Means New Beginnings

I just celebrated my seven month birthday free from drugs. I can't believe how healthy I feel these days. So many things are going well for me. It is just like they promised when I started attending 12 step meetings.

Life does get easier and tomorrow is always better than today. I have made some huge changes in my life in the recent months. Ever since I came back from treatment I have decided to live. I began going to bible study and church ever Sunday. I am maintaining a close relationship with God and seeing how He is revealing Himself to me through other people.

The biggest thing that I fear is living my life the way I used to. I thought I was happy before. This year is promising to be brighter than I ever thought was possible.

I met a great guy recently. I wasn't looking for a relationship. I have been working on my recovery and my relationship with God. I have been transforming my life and as a result of the changes God has put this person in my life for me because He knows he is what I need. He also knows that this guy is what I have always wanted.

The blessings I have been given are a result of doing the work and living my life the way God wants me to. He promises us great joy if we follow Him. Let your light shine. It will always lead you to the road less travelled. It is worth it! Happiness comes from within. Come out of the darkness and find peace.
