I am hopeful today and grateful

Well, so many things to heal when I start looking at it all.  I am hopeful today and very grateful.  I was self-medicating like crazy, which is my way, certainly not the best way.  I am grateful to have survived so far, there were many, many times when I didn't think I would. I am grateful for my new friends on Daily Strength.  It helps more that I ever thought it would. I am hopeful that I can actually get a little better and start to live again.  I feel that I have been almost dead for a long, long time.
