Right now I feel like I am struggling just to keep my connection with my higher Power. I call him Jesus. Life has been so busy learning new things to help people. As I look at step 11 I remember to pray only for God's will for my life and only he can help me carry it out. I lean on his strength not mine.
I know only that he is with me guilding me to where he wants me to go. Because he is the one who has set my life in motion. So, what do I worry about ?? Well now that I write this out Not much. God is in the drivers seat and I am just along for the ride trusting in his will for my life. Good night my friends. Jesus and Deb C

This has been a busy week for me besides working I signed up for my classes. I am so excieted at 54 I never thought I could start a new career. Friends,family and my great co-workers have encouraged me and supported my goals. I will be spending lots of free time studying. I have come to this place in my recovery that I feel I have something to offer others HOPE.
My message for today is it is never too late to reach for the stars. There have been times when I made a real mess of my life and hurt others. This new chapter in my lfe will be to reach out and make a difference in my community.
Through all this I have learned that I am not perfect and I don't have to be perfect. I will just take one day at a time and do the very best I can and know everything will work out the way it is supposed to. Deb

I am new to this site so I will introduce myself. My name is Deb and I am a recovering alcoholic and cocaine addict. My road to recovery was mared with shame and guilt and more pain than I thought any one person should have to endure in a lifetime. I never thought my life could or would ever turn around but suprisingly it did. I went from a homeless drug/alcohol addicted woman to a respected and happy woman with a beauitful apartment. My story well like so many others is sad. I had no one to blame but myself and myself pulled me out. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself one day. I thought I needed someone to save me from this terrible life. I imagined myself a small little girl abandoned and lost. Someone would find that poor little girl and save her. I asked myself but save her from what??? My answer "MYSELF"!!!! I was the one putting all those chemicals into my body and I needed to do something about it. I struggled for another few years and gave my precious children up for adoption because I lost all hope of ever recovering. A decision I regret deeply. I love and miss my children every day. I have been clean and sober since September 21, 2005. I had been clean before that but relapsed. During my relapse my oldest daughter had a talk with me about my drinking. I caught myself from falling further into that bottomless pit of despair. Today My life is different I no longer play the victim and take full responsiblility for my actions. I have a great job and my friends are truly good friends and support my life. Remember there is always HOPE. Recovery is not an easy journey but it is worth it. Today I Live Free with Hope for Tomorrow Deb
