I Am Grateful

June 12, 2019

I am grateful for Narcotics Anonymous.

I am grateful for the drug dealer who saved my life.

I am grateful for Brentwood and the lessons I learned there and the people I opened myself to like Daniel C for the very first time.

I am grateful for all the doctors, nurses, my addictions counsellor, the Fitness staff, volunteers and Team Blue at Homewood. Steve W, Chris W, Crista C, Tim P, Katharine S, Laura B – miss you.

I am grateful for my parents and sister who support me everyday.

I am grateful for my friends, the friends I convinced myself that hated me but were there with open arms.

I am grateful for my partner, whose support is my foundation.

I am grateful for my recovery and recovery team.

Love you. Good night.

I left the hateful rhetoric of Facebook to come here to carry a message of hope and healing I'm in recovery from addiction and rebuilding a life filled with purpose and creativity. Whether I'm playing the piano, baking, gardening, or knitting, I’ve found healing in the simple, meaningful moments. Buzz Kill Diaries is where I share honest reflections on recovery - one day at a time.
