A year ago, today...

A year ago today I was rushing off to Arizona; on my way to a treatment center; Remuda Ranch.Today, I'm rushing to go shopping, take art classes, hang out at the Y, and be with friends.

A year ago today I was terrified of everything, especially the future.
Today, I see good things to come, and Im open to change.

A year ago today, I didnt think recovery was possible.
Today, I'm living and learning in it.

A year ago today, I hated every aspect of myself.
Today, I'm learning to love myself.

A year ago today I felt so alone.
Today, I realize, I never was.

A year ago today, I wasnt myself.
Today, I'm becoming myself!!!

A year ago today, I thought I was forever broken.
Today Im gluing the pieces back together.

A year ago today, I never thought I would write something such as this. And, throughout this year has brought many struggles and hardships. But, they've helped shape me into who I am today.

Happy Independence Day everyone!!!
