There are days when I find myself forgetting, about addiction treatment. There are days when I catch myself taking it for granted, and forgetting about the journey from where I Was to where I Am: days when it’s almost like addiction treatment never happened; like I’ve never been anything but Healthy; that I didn’t damn near lose every last piece of Me.

Addiction treatment was the best thing that ever happened to me. By a mile. If you or someone you care about is a victim of addiction, you shouldn’t need to be told the truth: shouldn’t need to be told that addiction ruins lives, and that addiction treatment is your last best chance to rediscover the world as you used to know it, and yourself as you used to be.

Someday, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch yourself taking it all for granted. And when you do…pray that you do!…you’ll get down on years to say thank you for having ever had the strength to make addiction treatment work for you.
