Mood: Content Status: I feel kind of neglectful of all my Recoveryspace friends. School will be starting soon and hopefully I will get reconnected with all of you then.

I am told by my friends that I came in when I was a baby. I guess I was. I was the ripe age of 18...it took another 4 years to finally get sick and tired enough to quit. I sobered up in a small town and was a minority in age. I remember being told that I was so lucky to get it at the age that I was and I used to CRINGE!!!! I DIDN"T FEEL SO LUCKY! Here I was 22 and I couldn't drink...how was that lucky. I was in the prime of college life and drinking just wasn't any fun anymore. I guess the incomprehensible demoralization of my life was more scary than taking that drink at that point. I didn't always go to meeting my first 8 years because I didn't want to need anyone and I didn't want to be vulnerable to anyone. I thought if I gave up everything "me" that I would become the premordial ooze of the earth without a spine and no personality. This was how it went with my higher power early on also. I didn't want to become a unit walking in the same line with everyone else. OH WHAT WOULD BECOME OF ME!!! Well a lot has changed obviously because here I am at 45 years old and sober for 23 years. I learned that there is a ton of power in being powerless. I didn't have to give up everything me! God gave me the many gifts and individuality and I celebrate that within the confines of our common purpose. I love AA and i love women in the program. My true sisters. I am so grateful for my life today. I have a business I love that has meaning for me and others. I have a wonderful supportive husband and great kids.
Thank you all for being one of the many that walk our path and sometimes trudge! But at least we are trudging together.
