At the end of day nineteen, I feel it is necessary to say I am grateful to be free from the harmful addictions that plague our society. There are so many things that are harmful to the body and the mind. These things are so easy to get from pornography to drugs to online gaming and gambling. I am grateful today that I have not become addicted to some things that I have been exposed to and am glad I have not been exposed to the more harmful ones. I am not saying I don't have any addictions; I have an addiction to sugar and to soda, but, though these two are not necessarily good for my health, I am not losing friends and family over them.
Today has been a hard day for some of my friends. They have had to kick a friend out of there house because of his addiction to a substance. I won't go into complete details on the who's, the why's, or the how's, but because of his addiction to a heavily addictive substance, he no longer is able to live with them and their friendship will not be what it used to be. All of this because of a drug that will give him short amounts of relief from whatever he is running from.
I am very grateful to the universe, to God, to the angels, or to whatever aide I received and receive in my journey so that I was never lead down this dark and lonely path. In my job, I have seen many people's lives ruined because of drug addiction and alcohol addiction. These addictions, and the others like them, separate families and friends and they sever ties and bonds that can rarely be reshaped into previous forms of what they used to be.
Finally, I am very grateful to the friends that I associate with and the friends that make life fun and enjoyable without having to resort to substance abuse. I am very blessed with wonderful friends that keep me smiling and laughing. I am grateful I know them and I am blessed they have chosen me to be counted among their friends because without these ties, I don't know where I would be or what poor life decisions I would make. So, I am very grateful to my friends. You are amazing people and I can't thank you enough for all you do for me.
What are you grateful for?
