Thank you for a great post Sharon
There is so much to list, so I will note the most important.
Very blessed to say that the last 15 1/2 years of my life were sober, in that time, I have:
Given birth to a now 14 year old Son who has never known a Mom that drinks.
I have the love, pride and respect of my family back.
I have become employable and now have a pretty good job that I am good at.
Came out of bankruptcy, fixed my credit, bought a house alone and a decent car.
I love me today, even with all of my faults, I am a good...no great person.
I am healthy, body and (most of my) mind.
I understand that getting up for work on a cold day is a blessing. I could be getting up on a cold day to look for a job!!!!
I could go on forever, but thank you Sharon for making me think about the positives this morning, I REALLY this thread today.
