Free to Start a New Chapter
Brat Boy and Blondie both came home for Sunday brunch.
Sitting with my family, I was a little sad for all the people I knew still
fighting their addictions. Drinking my coffee, surrounded by family, I didn’t
have to scam someone’s pills, borrow money I’d never repay, sneak into work
because my frazzled brain needed seven days to do five days’ worth of work,
apologize for the night before, hope I didn’t get sick, sell my body to pay for
it, steal, lie, deceive, wonder where I was and who I was with, hope I hadn’t
gotten Hep C or HIV, find my car, sell drugs, etc. Because I was drug-free, I got to enjoy my
morning and make an announcement instead.
“I’m starting a new chapter,” I said. “I’m going back to
work. I’m going to train part-time for a company that does corporate
motivational weekends.”
Today I can turn the page or start a new chapter in my life.
