Giving Thanks for Sobriety
If anyone would have told me I would be grateful for the intervention done on me, I would have said they were mad. Yes, I took a few drinks at night, an occasional pill. I was not bothering anyone. What right did anyone have to interfere with my life? I did not realize I could not fully enjoy my grandchildren whom I loved. But my daughters never asked me to baby sit. Today alcohol and pills are no longer my companions. I baby sit, and when my daughters leave for vacation, they entrust their children to me. I love them, and I love the feeling that I can be trusted. I am grateful for sobriety.
