It’s New Year’s Eve and the end of yet another year. I’m amazed at how fast 2014 flew by given all that I’ve been through this year. While I have no idea what 2015 may bring, I do know I’m starting it on the right foot, clean and sober, from all addictions, and for that I’m truly grateful.
I’m so grateful I will not be getting wasted today on alcohol or drugs because every New Year’s Eve that I did always ended up in a disaster…
I’m so grateful I will not be sleeping with some random person today because every New Year’s Eve that I did I felt even more alone afterwards…
I’m so grateful I will not be in the casinos today gambling hundreds of dollars away because every New Year’s Eve that I did I was chasing something I never was able to obtain…
I’m so grateful I will not be spending any time today in codependence with a friend because every New Year’s Eve that I did I ended up being angry and getting into verbal rage with them…
Truly, I’m just grateful I won’t be chasing any person, place, or thing at any point today to bring me happiness, because I know none of them ever will. I know now that true happiness can only ever come from within, from the soul, and from the part of God that lives inside me, which thankfully is burning a whole lot brighter this New Year’s Eve…
Peace, love, light, and joy,
Andrew Arthur Dawson
Happy New Year Andrew Arthur Dawson!
Thanks Carl. You too!
I, too, am glad for not engaging in any of those behaviors. I’m grateful for the friends I’ve made, and the relationship I’ve built – including with you.
Thanks Steve! I feel the very same. 🙂
