Exhilarating

[roverl0616]

Those of us in recovery have nearly lost it all without exception. Before our recovery we all had one foot in the grave and we knew it. It felt like at any moment it could all have come to an end for us. We lived like that way too long. Recovery is very exhilarating because of this way in which we all had once lived life. This exhilaration doesn't mean that we're given exemption to the natural cycle of life, but because of where we've been we now have a greater appreciation for life. To give value to what we have, and to where we've been, we pass along this greater appreciation of life to all who have never been where we've been. So hopefully they'll never have to go where we been to get it.
