Today I have to be thankful for the many people I have met in my recovery who have been there for me whenever I have been in need. I thank my higher power for bringing them into my life. They unselfishly listen to me when I am scared and fearful of a relapse. Then before I know it hours have passed and they are still talking and listening to me until I realize that my need to relapse has passed, I've grown tired, and I have gotten through another day. So many wonderful people, most of them mere strangers have extended a glorious lifeline to me and have asked for nothing in return. I know that when another troubled stranger comes up to me and is in need of my support, I too will unselfishly be there for them, to share the love that was so gracefully shared with me. I want to share my recovery with others who are suffering, and share all glory with them, through the love that I've been shown.
