Spiritual Blessing

I am approaching the anniversary date of the beginning of my recovery path and, as always happens, I have been reflecting on the change/growth process of the last twenty-nine years.  During that time, I have experienced numerous miraculous events, such as being jerked out of space/time to prevent a suicide or spending an afternoon communicating deeply with my father who had advanced Alzheimer’s and could not even form a cogent sentence.  I have also experienced extreme pain, suffering and numerous significant physical challenges.  All in all, it has been quite a mixture of pleasant and unpleasant events.  It is important for me to realize that the events have all been spiritual blessings that helped guide me and form the person I am today.
