The First Year Of Recovery: Where I Came From…Where I’m Going

Posted on March 8, 2010

Where I Am Now

January 26th will be my one year anniversary of being in recovery. As far as I'm concerned, this has been the best year of my life. Sure, it wasn't the funnest, the easiest, or the most peaceful year. But as far as my well being is concerned, this has been my most productive year ever.

My first year in addiction recovery has been filled with many ups and downs, many ebbs and flows, many steps forward...and a couple of steps back. What is the most important thing I've learned? Stumble don't fall.
