Out of Darkness

In my depression, I drifted through life, taking things just as they came to me.  Rather than assume responsibility for my own life, I let others and events determine my path.  I hid in my depressed state and wallowed in my feelings.  But when I decided to take responsibility for who I am, my life became exciting, better than I have ever known, and my recovery accelerated.  I will continue to be responsible.  As I do, I will grow stronger.
