I think middle age is about 5 years ahead , whatever age you are …
I'm sure i'm still a child in recovery , i'm still learning and i know nothing . I used to think i knew stuff that was important , nowadays attitude and learning to be my own firm and loving adult seems more relevant .
An ideal retirement project is to build a summer house/ sheltered extension in the garden if you have one , for more room to pursue ones hobbies . or a meditation or hobby room or a "den" .
Sharon you have 22 years of dealing with lifes' changes and managing to keep on the right path . I'm sure you'll be able to deal with these changes and continue to live in sober glory ODAAT .
Keep on
Bestwishes, m
