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 did I survive, instead of ending up dead after walking the streets, like so many other do and have.

that is a good question. AA tells us-why me? answer-"why not you?" i believe our higher power touches all of us who suffer. some of us heed his/her touch and get help. and we all offered the same moment during our addictions. i feel it's about choice. my best girl friend made a sorrowful choice, R.I.P mayjane. i made the other choice and feel i have a additional purpose in life. i feel we are given a gift to help others in need as we were once. simply put-carrying the message-like you said.
