I didn't know it was possible to change my thinking, but because of this program, because of god, because of people like yourselves, I didn't know it was possible to be this positive about myself, to love myself this much.
Ever felt like you were on the outside looking in? Quinn P. from Reston, Virginia knows that feeling all too well. Growing up with loving parents and great friends, he still felt disconnected until he discovered alcohol. For a while, it seemed like the perfect solution—his anxieties melted away, and he finally felt like he belonged. But as often happens, what started as a way to fit in spiraled into a full-blown addiction.
Quinn chased the high at every turn, leading him down a dark path. Thankfully, he found his way to recovery rooms, where he learned a new way to live. In this episode of the Daily Reflection Podcast, Quinn shares how gratitude became his lifeline. He starts each day on his knees, thanking God for being alive, sober, and a member of Alcoholics Anonymous.
This daily practice of gratitude has not only kept him sober but has also allowed him to be present for others. Prayer and meditation are also cornerstones of his routine, helping him tune into a higher power's guidance. Relationships play a crucial role in Quinn's recovery. He believes the quality of his life is directly linked to the quality of his relationships.
By being a present son, brother, and friend, he's been able to mend the damage caused by his addiction and build meaningful connections. Quinn's story is a powerful reminder that reaching out for help and attending meetings can be transformative. His journey underscores the importance of gratitude, prayer, and connection in overcoming addiction and living a purposeful life.
