Today, we embark on the road to recovery.

This is the path to healing, discovery, and hope. We frequently journey down this road, yet do we not venture forth to reveal a new life? It's time to view our lives differently, through discovery. Every day should be a new opportunity to restore hope, find purpose, and pursue our passions. After facing some difficult times, I've learned to recover effectively. This is 'Enjoying Recovery Everyday,' a journey through my life to assist others.

At times, we think we understand life, but it's during those lonely moments when no one else is around that we begin seeking something greater than ourselves. At 59, I realized I hadn't truly lived, only existed, living for others. This revelation was welcome, prompting me to question life and my purpose.

Sometimes we need to start anew and move forward. Each situation brought different meaning, perspective, and hope. Some things took years to comprehend, and why they emerged now is clear. It's time to move ahead, spread my wings, and help others realize life is more than drugs, bad relationships, and abuse; it's about love, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Today, I challenge you to examine your life as it is and allow yourself to grow through your journey. This isn't easy, and sometimes we need support. That's why I've dedicated my life to helping others understand. If I could impart these golden nuggets to those younger than myself, it would help them gain wisdom early and make a difference in this world.

In essence, there are experiences our youth don't have to endure if we share our insights with them and help them thrive. Until next time.

Thrive in passion and learn to understand purpose.
