In my addiction I always wanted the love and structure that most get from family. im sure it was being offered to me, but all i ever cared about was getting my next fix….

Today I have that love and so much more… last night i chaired a meeting that was loseing support fast, when it looked like only a very few people were gonna show up, they just started pouring in. We filled that room and i realized I have so much love for my brothers and sisters in recovery, since I have been in recovery i have built a new family, a family that stands beside me and has unconditional love for me, regaurdless if it was someone i just met or someone who has been walking this journey with me from the start… But people showed up to support me and let me know that they love me…

Family comes in all forms, my blood family who i have never had such an amazing relationship with as i do now, or my (soul) family who are my friends that are always in my heart and mind… i love you all…

This program has givin me a new way of life as promised from the beginning, in our basic text of narcotics anonymous, it sais,” any addict who thougholy walk our path has never relapsed, it is not till we started getting complaicent that relapse happens…

my wife and kids…
