I am currently at a stage in my life where I feel content, positive and hopeful of a bright future. Although I may have less in terms of material possessions and financial wealth compared to 10 years ago, I do have a far greater amount of peace of mind, satisfaction and purpose in my life. I have recently gained a new qualification, moved house and continue to make new friends, both inside and outside of recovery circles. The key to living a happy and productive life for me now is sticking close to a programme of recovery, being an active participant in life, both inside and outside of recovery and continuing to be grateful, open, honest and willing in all I do.
