Everyone talks about why we should be grateful, in that we have
overcome our active addiction.

I believe something else. I believe we should be grateful that we
experienced addiction.

For it was the addiction that led us to the beautiful and serene state
of mind we have achieved and now live everyday.

What better gift could be bestowed than this?

Be glad today that you are who you are. Be grateful for what you have
been given. Your addiction, seen truly, was a marvelous gift . . .
