Getting arrested wasn't fun, but today I think I was rescued, because I couldn't stop on my own. It started me on my path to the life I have now, which is completely unrecognizable to me and to the people who knew me. I get emotional when I talk about this, because I sometimes feel unworthy. The gift of this life and these people in recovery was given to me, and l'll be forever grateful. It's my obligation and honor and privilege to now extend the hand of recovery to others. I'm grateful to be sponsoring some great people right now—I can't even begin to count how many I've sponsored over the years. The funny thing about being a sponsor is the sponsee thinks you're helping them, but in reality, they're saving you.
