Miracle of the Week – Day by Day

A Miracle of Attitude

I was lucky enough to come across Expect A Miracle a few years ago. I carry an Expect A Miracle card in my purse all the time.

I have had a prescriptive substance abuse addiction for the past 15 years. Recently I was told my liver may shutdown and I could die. I was added to a waiting list for a detox clinic but was told it could take two weeks to be admitted. I am not the most person and did not find this acceptable. I made the decision I would try and overcome this myself. I have a wonderful family and a great professional support network but they could not be around me all day, everyday.

I was in the supermarket the day after I received this information and I looked at my Expect A Miracle card. My mind started to think. When I got home I printed out some Expect A Miracle cards. I pinned them on the walls around the house and put one in my car. Whenever I felt I was going to slip into bad habits again I only had to look around me and be reminded of John, Judy and my miracle.

It is never easy to overcome an addiction and it will stay with you for the rest of your life. But, with my Expect A Miracle card in purse it reminds me of the hard work and the determination I had to get through this hard time.

I am now on the way to a new, healthy life and I would like to thank John, Judy, my family and Expect A Miracle for helping me.
