So I've been blogging for a few months now, I find it an amazing experience. It's wonderful to have a place to store my memories and to know I can access them anytime. The community is amazing too, the amount of blog content which has already helped me is cool.I have no idea how to design or promote my blog. I've tried to read up on it but frankly I just cannot process the information so I have decided to accept that the Sober Julie page will look like this for a while lol. I just realized that ...
Sober doesn't Suck!
All he wanted was chocolate covered almonds and he got recovery
I often hear in the rooms about people who are about to relapse....how they are just going to drive into the Beer Store parking lot and they notice a fellow AA nearby. Or how they get a call right at the moment from someone in AA. They're waylaid.

It's the day which would forever change my priorities and honesty with myself. This was the day I submitted my life to God's will. February 9th I turned 37....err I mean 27 for the 10th time. February 10th I went to the gym and committed to running a 1/2 marathon with a friend in May. February 26th I was in a car accident which negated the whole ...
Any man can fight the battles of just one day
Our family just spent a week at Walt Disney World, arrived back home to the snow, cold and chores of unpacking.
