Addiction Recovery: What Are You Thankful For?

Thanksgiving is fast approaching so I began thinking about what this holiday means to me. It seems this year has brought me a completely different view of Thanksgiving due to the fact that I'm in addiction recovery.

I was trying to think of what my Thanksgiving was like last year but to be honest, I can't specifically recall it. I was still in active addiction as well as being on Cymbalta for "depression" so it appears that last year's Thanksgiving made absolutely no impression on me.

I guess that's why this holiday season, as Thanksgiving arrives, I am pretty shocked at the effect that it is having on my emotions.
