Thankful! 2009-2019

As Thanksgiving 2019 approaches I have to reflect back 10 years ago.  10 years ago I was fresh out of rehab for Prescription pain pill addiction.  I was still having many withdrawals symptoms coming off the Methadone.  Methadone has a long (up to a year) withdrawal time frame.  I didn't feel good at all but still wanted to try to do all I could to bring my life into some kind of normal. I am grateful that my family lifted and carried me through a lot of that year with help from above.  I have accomplished so much in every aspect of my life since then.  I still struggle with the grip of Fibromyalgia and some days are pretty tough but most days are a blessing.  I should not have lived as I was so deep into my addiction.  I wonder so many times how I woke up to see a new day? I know that one reason I lived was that I have been able to help so many people realize that there is hope and that we can reclaim our health.  So many of you have carried me on my healthy journey and I can only hope that I have carried you as well.  I know that I need others to keep me strong and you have been there. I haven't written often in my blog but I carry you in my mind and heart.  I am thankful that I was brave and strong enough to take that first step into health 10 years ago!  Is it time for you to be brave and strong enough to take that first step too?
