"we will not regret the past, nor wish to shut the door on it. We will see how our experience can benefit others..."Alcoholics Anonymous book.

I do not regret my using nor do i wish to return, today.

I survived, survival isn't always pretty, but it is always good, I believe.

My drinking and drugging were the "lesser of two, or more, evils" in my case.

I am fortunate to be alive. Everyday is a gift, I'm not really deserving of, just fortunate enough to be alive. Many were not as fortunate as I... Why me, why did I survive, instead of ending up dead after walking the streets, like so many other do and have.

Still, I'm glad I can help others avoid my fate.

thx
