Yet

June 6, 2019

I am grateful to be alive.

The lapse last week could have gone any number of ways. I always would say, I’ll never inject. I’ll never chase a high. I’ll never do that much and a quiet little voice would complete each statement with “yet”.

Last week scared me, but also taught me a hard lesson.

It may seem obvious to some, but last week I finally realised that one is too many and a thousand not enough. I’m grateful to be alive to share my experience and maybe save one addict from going down the same path.

Good night my friends. We did it. I’m clean for another 24.

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.
