The minimum number of cuts that a diamond is required to have in order to meet certain specifications is 52. As gift, I recently received a very beautiful diamond pendant. This diamond was not ordinary. It had 72 cuts or 72 beautiful facets with which to reflect the many colors of light.
My life as an addict was full of bumps and bruises. It was unmanageable. I was insane. Many times I hurt or "cut" myself deeply. It often seemed as if I had many more cuts than most. Then somehow, someway, my Higher Power took those very cuts and fashioned me into a “diamond”. I no longer regret my past, nor wish to shut the door on it. Somehow, I see that my past and my experiences as an addict can now be used to benefit others. I reflect what I have received. I reflect the beautiful light of recovery

I believe God has mined me and now is refining me. He always knew there was a jewel to be found.
