10 Things I've Learned in My Recovery

I didn’t know how to stop. 

I didn’t know how to love myself. 

I was spiritually disconnected. 

Thank God I was given the gift of desperation. God willing, Sunday morning I’ll wake up 11 years sober—no hangover, no puking through my nose, no “sorry” phone calls to make.

So this Saturday night—since it’s the last day of the 10th year of my sobriety—I thought I’d share with you the top 10 things I’ve learned in my recovery. Maybe you’re learning these things too.
