Before entering recovery, few of us had much experience with success. We especially had only failure with trying to stop using on our own. As we stay clean, we begin to have experience with success. This experience gives us a sense of pride, something that has been missing in our lives. It brings along with it the hope that we can succeed in other goals as well. We have an opportunity to savor our successes. There is so much to go to God with gratitude.
