Hi
Thanks for your thought provoking post. The difference between abstinence and recovery is very simple in definition but sometimes so hard to find in practice . For the first time I have found the difference that works for me after years of ignorance , i want to enjoy life and be a better person by making decisions that work towards this goal. When I write this down or tell close friends it's seems so simple, as supported by their facial expressions.
Which gets me to the question you ask, a simple answer but maybe harder to understand , you are the person you have become through the effort you have put into your recovery.
Unity and serenity , i love that phrase.
