Conscious graces

Today I am grateful I have never replaced my misery with addiction. I have survived with conscious phobia instead. This may not seem like something to be grateful for, but my readers, believe me when I say it so. Addictions make you lose yourself, makes you do anything to appeased it, makes you lose your morals and your overall grip on anything outside it. I am addicted to my work and life instead, however my condition and circumstance. I have chosen life and love to survive. I hope everything good and intrinsically lovely in life, will choose me as well. Phobia makes you fear doing something that may bring back the horrible sensation of trauma. It is a deterrent against something, like addiction, that could consume you, menace you to the point of death. It is something to be grateful for.
