Insanity? Restored to?   I think we all go through rollercoaster rides. Even though I’ve been on the recovery journey for a while, things happen, we face stress, and even though we try to turn it over, a black cloud appears!

Gratitude and Remember When   I just had the privilege of playing a 2 day member/guest tournament at the golf course I’m privileged to belong to. We did not win a thing, but played as well as we could for 2 long days, 27 holes the second day. It feels good to know that you went out and did the best you could, competed fairly and honestly, and enjoyed every thing that was around and stayed clean and sober. I am filled with gratitude and do remember when! I remember well when an even... Read More
