The Quadriplegic in NA

Hello my name is Jasper and I had to make a lot of adjustments in my life not only being a quad, I'm aslo a recovering addict.  My clean date is also the same date as my accident.  I recently went to a meeting when I celebrated my 3 years clean.  I want you to understand that we may have akward conditions, people still love and embrace us as long as we keep a positive attitude and continue on with our lives, people will support us.  I went to that meeting not knowing exactly what to expect, but it turned out to be a beautiful experience.  They bought a huge cake, pizza, ice cream and we celebrated and hugged each other and they gave me so much support.  It was awesome to me that so many people poured out their love for me.  I was touched.  So I want you to know that things change in our lives but some things remain the same.  Love, caring, support, and God working in our lives.  So I said all that to say this, it's very important that we look at life with the same zeal that we had before our tragady.  God works through people and he touches hearts and moved people to love us unconditionally.  Keep your head up and embrace life boldly and it will work for you just as it's working for me.  Love you.  I'm Jasper and this was my expereience I've shared with you.
