Today I am grateful for recovery.

Nearly 19 years ago I self admitted into a Salvation Army medical detox center in Richmond, Victoria. For the first time in my adult life I had a “break in the weather” and I could see a clearing. I was graciously given the possibility to live a transformed life by not using drugs one day at a time.

Throughout my years of recovery there have been new opportunities to create more clearingings. There is constant stretching and discomfort that clears a space for an extraordinary life. It seems that complacency is the enemy of possibility. I've had many opportunities to grow and have behaviours and attitudes that no longer benefit myself and others miraculously transformed.
