Wink Today is My 5/Month B-Day

I My H.P whom I choose to call My Lord,& Savior,
Jesus Christ for allowing me one more Day on this
Sober Journey

It Hasn't Been easy,But not Impossible
shed allot of tears,of sorrow, Joy and the list go's on, ect,ect,

Grew, and still Growing, I will always be in the
learning process as longest I'm in this God's Giving, Green Earth,

and Today I Quit My Job, I couldn't deal with the B.S.
I have to much on my plate first thing, is first,
I got to do me First before I go to that Jungle out there
it was a growing, and learning experience,
but it was to much to handle and came to the conclusion
that I was never ready to begin with
so Just for today I'm Grateful to had made it Back
alive and Clean
