I am taking the Bull by the Horns

Today I acknowledged that I have taken my life back. I acknowledged that I am not the same person I was before 2005. Today I acknowledged that regardless of where you have been, what you have done, it is up to you to make a difference. No amount of rehabilitation, no amount of guiltridden antics can set the course of action until you are ready to do it in your own heart and soul. Life still isn't wonderful or perfect and I have come to the conclusion that it will never be that way. The struggles we face each and every day keeps us on our toes for perfection, even though we may never reach that ultimate goal. Today is beginning of everything good or bad, strong or weak, happy or sad. Goals are for some people, they are not for me. I have an addiction and I have to take one day at a time, survive that day, thank God for getting me through that day, and prepare myself for the next one to come. At the end of the day it is no longer an issue of survival but an issue of accomplishment. My past is my road map to today and future is set for only I to explore. Regardless if I live one more day, I am proud to say that I am a better person than yesterday, happier today than before, and more aware of the evils of this earth. Faith, complete faith is what I live on now and it is worth it. Try it and you will be amazed at the results.
