Seeing the drug addict in the mirror

Well world today is a very beautiful day for me, it's a happy day for me I'm so glad to be alive. I think back on those days that I'm not feeling it and think, I never imagined then I'd be were I am today with my addiction free life. I still know a few people whom no matter what I say or do to help them, I feel as though I'm hitting my head against a brick wall. Then I think Billy,that's me you were the exact same way a few years back. I'd ask myself why should I quite? I realized at that time I never looked in the mirror and really look at myself, GOD I was a tweaker a worthless tweaker! People now I look at myself with such pride in what I've accomplish by Kicking all my addictions, it took strength and inner piece after a time.
