Dream Threads

We just sit there in silence with only the calm steady sound of breathing to fill the air. A peaceful serenity sat within the three of us as we shared a silent moment I knew I wouldn’t forget. The old me was gone and for good. I wouldn’t touch another drop of alcohol for the rest of my life. For years I sought happiness in the saddest of places. I never thought I had a problem until I came out on the other side. I went from a lonely empty room to one filled with happiness and friends and family that I thought had left me for good.  I couldn’t help but think of how much I’ve changed from the day I started this journey.  The bad times are put behind me now I finally could start to live a better life as a better me. I can get a job, get married, maybe even have kids one day, all because I got better. Maybe I will become what some family members always wanted me to be.
