Have you ever seen something so miraculous that the very moment takes your breath away? It's been 8 months and I’m still out of breath somehow.

We traveled throughout Germany for the new years, and I saw the beauty of the country.

The man inside was my higher power who was always waiting for me to find my way and I did that through sobriety.
