		<description><![CDATA[I realize, of course, that talking about gratitude on Thanksgiving Day is, at best, cliché.  Oh well.  Today is as good a day as any to set aside a bit of time to discuss the idea of gratitude.  It is a mistake, I think, to think of gratitude as a state of being, or a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you believe its been four years already?  Four years from the last time I had the compulsion to use.  Before that, in spite of my desire not to, the thought of living without crystal meth was impossible for me to imagine. Like many others, I tried to get sober on a number of occasions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow.  Here we are 4 years after the day I first saw myself clearly enough, and was in enough pain, to do something about my addiction, and my life today bears almost no resemblance to the life I had before.  I am still me, obviously, with all the same flaws and all the same quirks.  [...]]]></description>

Ultimately I wasn&#8217;t even able to keep that job.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been sober now for three years, six months, and thirteen days.  Not very long at all but long enough; long enough to forget.  It&#8217;s funny how easy it is to recall my moment of clarity and to recall the early days of my recovery.  I recall the events well enough.  I can recall [...]]]></description>
