A long time ago...I started thinking about life's progression.

I grew up around 2 Great-Granmothers so I was aware
that it's not always possible to do as you wish as you age.

I see my life as a group of compartments...
the little girl turned into a teen .....the marriage and motherhood
Divorce...career woman...alcoholic....sobriety....recovery.

As I grew into the new phase/compartment ..changes
were required adjustments needed for me to grow
to be contented with myself.

Now...at 73 ... I am the Great-Grandmother...
I am in my "AA recovered/old woman" compartment.

Rather than regretting on what I can no longer do
I cherish what I can accomplish.

My days ...including the weekend....all run along very
smoothly. I do a balance of God-AA-fSR-family and friends.

Thanks for letting me share the joy of recovery on SR
