"In recovery, eyes wide open, I am now capable and willing to face life
head on with all its simple pleasures as well as the pain. This process
of learning to enjoy and to cope without the aid of chemicals has been enlightening.
Equally important is to realize and accept the limitations of being human
and the humility that develops as a result of this process."
