A recovering addict wrote to me: 27 months. Upward, outward. Freedom, Choices. Autonomy. The miracle of contented sobriety. From the fiery wreckage of one life, the sprigs of a new life emerge… for me, for my family, and for those around me. Hope is available through God-dependence and service to others. My reflection: This young man’s words are full of promise and gratitude. His chains of addiction now broken, his life is an example of sobriety in action. This is powerful and reminds those of us who love addicts that a sober life is indeed possible. Today’s Promise to consider: When we feel desperate, at our wits-end, and ready to give up, let us remember that where there is life there is hope. For today, I’ll hold on to this recovering addict’s words, “From the fiery wreckage of one life, the sprigs of a new life emerge…Hope is available through God-dependence and service to others.” -Libby
