Reflection

I hear stories alomst every single day when I go to meetings of alcoholic anonymous, and believe me there are stories that grab your heart and rip it out of your chest. The one story that made such an impact on me and my life was the one of my sponser, only because she was telling the same story that I had when I was running and gunning on the streets. It had such an impact on my life because here was this lady who I have never met in my life telling me how it used to be for her when she was on drugs and it was as if she was watching my life the whole time step by step. It was amazing to know that there are people out there that have been through alot of troubling times but this women went through the exact same thing I went through word for word. After she was done telling me and other people that were at the meeting her story, and that she had been sober for so long it gave me so much hope that when I asked her to be my sponser it brought tears to my eyes to know that someone that had gone through the exact same experience that I went through can come out of it and overcome what seems to be the worst thing to overcome and live a normal happy life. I am amazed that she also wants to take time out of her own day to help another person out that she has never met before. She has helped me so much over the past eighteen months and I am so grateful that she came into my life when she did, I am proud to call her my best friend.
