Our marriage could have ended in
disaster too as I was the one who
wanted to party all night into the
morning before the wedding to be
held at 11am June 12, 1982 many
yrs ago.
However, with help from relatives
I sobered up enough still holding on
to an unsettling hangover to make it
down the isle.
Yrs later as I looked at wedding pictures,
I saw the Sun shining brightly over the
cross hanging above us as we exchanged
vows, for better or worse, in sickness and
in health till death due us part.
In our 25 yr, marriage, we had 2 beautiful,
smart, talented, caring children, I entered
recovery via a family intervention at about
7 yrs married, relocated to Houston and
all that life thru at us during that time.
I listened, learned, absorbed and applied
an effective program of recovery and held
on to dear life thru my ever changing life
for 25 yrs till I returned to my home town
of Baton Rouge in 2006, separated and
divorced and remarried with a strong,
healthy, happy, honest life built up this
amazing recovery program foundation
I learned many one days sober ago.
With willingness and openmindeness
I did the footwork in life and recovery
to achieve many wonderful gifts in
life and recovery to appreciate, be
grateful and thankful for as I never
close the door to my past but look
forward to what life offers me in the
future.
There are many recovery programs
available to all those affected by
those suffering from addiction to
help heal and grow and live productive
healthy lives moving forward in life.
Seek and you shall find Serenity to
accept the things you can not change
Courage to change the things you can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
