A Good Example?
During my Recovery journey, I have gone through many "Phases"
At first, I was the newcomer, quite sick and scared to be sober, but more scared to keep drinking myself to death.
I was a student learning how to live again.
I have been a mentor.
I have spoken at schools about addiction.
I have been a volunteer.
There is so much more, but what really freaks me out, is that I NEVER...EVER thought that I would be the good example! I was the black sheep for so long, I still can't believe it. I can't believe that people ask me "How did you do it?" and they mean something positive! Not " Why did you do that, again?" I suppose I would be considered an "Old Timer" at this point, and that freaks me out too! I remember Seeing a 9 month chip and thinking "Some Day, Some Day....I am going to have 9 whole months" I remember it like it was yesterday, that was over 25 years ago. Sometime I still can't believe it myself...LOL, Me..a "good" example...giggling
Just rambling......Cathy
