Robert Gant Instagram – My heart is full of gratitude today at turning eighteen years sober off drugs and alcohol. Eighteen years ago, I had no idea the gifts that would come from taking this journey. Some overt and obvious, some nuanced and almost imperceptible. Maybe more than anything, it’s this deep, profound feeling of thankfulness for the feeling and experience of life that the sober journey offers. It’s not easy to describe, but I’m blessed to have it. The folks I get to travel the path with are, at the same time, gifts of the experience and reasons I’m still on this road. For, as much as there can sometimes be a pull to isolate or to “do this on your own,” life always happens with others. It can. I’ve realized it’s wise to let it/them in. Thank you to my fellows and my ever-shifting concept of a higher power for this journey and the life it continues to offer.
