RFA Talk > Grateful for Abstinence

Hello everyone,
Today is one of those days that I am feeling lots of feelings. What a miracle. Before recovery and especially before abstinence, feeling any of this stuff was unthinkable. I just stuffed something in as quickly as possible to distract myself and numb out. And that's not so surprising; I didn't know how to express myself or who to do it with.

Growing up in recovery has been a process of recognizing that I need to express myself, admitting I can't do it alone, finding safe people and learning who I am. What an adventure! What a gift of life I've been given by my HP and what a gift to be able to live that comes from recovery and abstinence.

Thank you all for your support in ways great and small.
Love,
Kasey
