all newcomers; here is the light

I was drinking a 5th of vodka every day. I was a teacher. Guess what? I no longer drink and I'm now again a teacher. I lost my job, my child, my home and my career to alcohol. One day at a time, one brick at a time, reap what we sew. Godspeed!I'm sorry if this is cryptic; it's not intended to be. i'm simply lost for words. God is so good. HE is so good.

Just look around the rooms of AA/NA, or the pages of this website, to see the miracles. I'm confined to a wheelchair in a nursing home, and I have two bumper stickers glued to my chair:

Higher Powered - Sponsor Driven

Live and Let Live

It's good to hear an Attitude of Gratitude from fellow alcoholics. Thanks for the positive message, Joi.
