Just for today, I chose life. When I came into recovery, I wanted to stop the world and get off. I had no purpose for living, and didn't think I could include myself on the list. The 5th Tradition of AA is what gave me purpose and a reason for being, even though I no longer found that I had to question and justify my existence. When I shut down or live in the negative, I block the positive and the Grace of God from coming into my life. Life on life's terms. I often questioned, why me? So many others seemed to be so much more worthy and needy. I was told "Why not you?"
