Yesterday, I went paddleboarding with six friends in recovery and I had set up the trip. I am one month shy of 5 years of recovery and I was reminded how I would dream of planning adventures for friends - but have neither friends nor adventures. Today, I have friends and adventures. Today, I have integrity. Of all the things I lost to my alcholism, my integrity was the most precious and one of the last things to go...I became a person of many promises and few commitments. In my recovery, I do now what I was well known for prior to my addiction - I always did what I said I was going to do. Today, I carry through. I am dependable. You can count on me.
