I haven't been posting quite as much lately because I'm down under a terrible migraine for the last 5 days. It's beating me but I'm not defeated entirely. I am beginning to pray for healing. Up until now I thought this was selfish but I am realizing it's not. There are so many people in my life affected by my constant pain and inabilities that I'm going to be praying for a miracle of healing. God is GREAT and CAN perform miracles. I loved today's reading and am sharing it. It explains ...
Sober doesn't Suck!
Serenity beats a glass of wine anyday
Well there it is friends, the token I which was so far away just a mere year ago.I have blogged about my feelings back then but I had no idea how draining the Birthday Celebration last night would be on me.

Or how they get a call right at the moment from someone in AA. They're waylaid. This is my first experience.Thursday evening I got a text from a fellow AA'er asking if I'm still selling chocolate covered almonds. As every mother of young girls will attest we're usually fundraising in this house for something, right now it's ...
I don’t wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence…1 year!!!!!!
One year ago I sat in shame, determined to change my ways, having admitted I was an alcoholic and accepting that my life would never be the same I expected to go to AA and find the program which would begin the process. I've spoken about the shame in previous blogs and for those who are or have felt it you know how it feels so heavy, like you've just tread water for hours and can't walk out of the pool heavy.I knew I'd never again be reaching for my wine glass/bowl out of ...
