700 Club
Today I joined the 700 club; 700 days sober club. I'm so grateful for my recovery! It truly is a miracle that I have come as far as I have. Never in a million years did I ever believe it possible to have the relationship that I have with my Savior, or the knowledge of my Father in Heaven's plan.
Prior to beginning recovery three years ago I hated myself. I believed I was a waste of skin and wanted to not just die, but I wanted my spirit to be exterminated because I believed my very existence was an offense to God. I know this sounds extreme - but that is literally how I felt and I feel it important that people understand how dark life can get when in the midst of addiction. Now however, I know that I am a beautiful daughter of God. I know that He loves me. I know that He has specific purpose for me on this earth and I feel that my life now has direction.
The biggest and best miracle however though is the love that I know feel for my Savior. I love Him at a capacity that I never thought possible. I never thought it possible to love someone so much that I cannot see or touch and that I have no real tangible memory of. This truly is a gift for it is this tender love that I have for my Savior that enhances my progression and growth.
The more I love Him,
The more I want to be like Him.
The more I love Him,
The more I become like Him.
The more I love Him,
The greater chance to return to Him.
