When I was using alcohol and drugs I totally forgot about how beautiful it is where I live at.
The river runs through town and I just lost interest in it over the years. I now go to the river EVERY morning and take pictures of the sunrise and if there isn't one that day I still take a picture and thank GOD for how blessed I am to be able to enjoy it.
Then I post it. Now I have followers that really enjoy my pictures and are constantly telling me I should do it professionally. They tell me how it makes their day better and that really makes me feel wonderful.
The gift of sobriety is something I thought i'd never have much less feel good about myself. I now work in the recovery field and love every day.
