TOPIC: As A Newcomer I'll Never Forget....
Hi Im Sharon and Im an
Alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and
people like you here in SR
I havent found it necessary
to pick up a drink of
alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that and you I am truely
grateful.
In Aug. 1990 I spent 28 days
in rehab after family stepped
in with an intervention getting
me help I so needed at that
time in my life.
Those next few months sober,
in my mind are still so clear
today as if it were yesterday.
It would be my first sober
holidays to face with myself
and the family.
For some reason I recall so
vividly the feelings I had
when listening to music.
I still get chills thinking about
it.
As much as I liked music,
this time it seemed different.
Clearer. Crisp. More meaningful.
Can you recall something in
ur early recovery days that
stood out the most?
To think that my admiration
for music had a profound
affect on my kids at that time.
Both, my son and daughter
picked up musical instruments
in school...one a French Horn
and the other a Trombone.
They both excelled with one
becoming the Drum Major
in his HS marching band.
He also went on to major
in music and did his graduate
studies up north in the New
England Conservatory.
I don't think I can take all
the credit but maybe some
with recovery and my love
for music.
How about you?
