This is a great question. I'm not sure I would change anything, even after considering how destructive addiction was to my life. Though I know my alcohol abuse hurt others, I'm fortunate that the most severe damage was limited to myself. My path, which included years of suffering because of addiction, is the path that shaped me and I have come to accept and embrace where I am. I'm not sure I would feel the same way if things would have been worse.......and certainly things could have ended up much worse.
Thanks for sharing! 😊✌️
