When I made the decision to get clean I found a job, worked hard to pay my debts, and met a wonderful man who fostered my new healthy, drug free life. For my 1 year sobriety anniversary he bought me my first Yorkie. She gave me a love I've never known, she didn't see a recovering addict she just saw me for who I was in her life. She gave me something else to think about and someone other than myself to take care of. She gave me a reason to continue my journey drug free. I honestly believe my continued sobriety is in large part due to my relationship with my Yorkie. They are amazing animals, friends, and companions. I am now employeed with a treatment facility and she comes to work with me every day. My Client's love to come into my office and be greeted by this little ball of fur who showers them with love and is genuinely happy to see them. So yes...they are the missing part of any life they touch! |
That is an awesome story and congrats to you for getting sober and remaining sober. You should be sooo proud of yourself. KikiPie I couldn't agree with you more about being filling a missing part of your life. Georgie means so much to me it's amazing how much I love him. He isn't much into the pajamas (eventhough I have tried) so each night he lays with my fiance' and I (and sleeps with us of course) and we rub his belly and tell him how much we love him. To explain it to people who don't feel the way we do they think we are insane so it's great to have YT because people here can relate
