My Mistake

I believe that one of my biggest mistakes is taking my life for granted.  I put no value to my time and procrastinated on all the important things in life that really matter.  For example, my family, my health, my friends and many more things that I can carry on about.

I’ve learned that like time these things I’ve taken for granted don’t always wait until I’m ready to appreciate them the way they deserve.  On the other hand, I’m very lucky to have the kind of family I do that is still waiting for me to pull myself together.  Of all the things I have taken for granted my family is the one that hurts the most.  I want to make it up to them and I know that getting healthy is the best way to do so.  I don’t know where I would be without my families support but I do know where I am going now that I have it.

My efforts will be endless just like my lies and manipulation were endless.  I will chase my sobriety like I chased my drugs.  I will fight tooth and nail for my life and all its worth.  A big battle ahead, but I choose a sober life instead.
