Wisdom- Recovery Word of the Week

Wisdom to me is gaining knowledge through personal experiences. I had two choices when I started using drugs. One was to stop and two ways to keep going. Two different paths. I chose to keep using drugs because I liked the way it made me feel. I didn’t know any better or where it would take me so I learned the hard way. I gained a lot of wisdom in the decade of my disease. Feeling my limitations on what are right and wrong, and good and bad. Without the experiences I’ve had in my addiction, I would not have the knowledge and wisdom in sobriety.
