It's never too late to find recovery!!

At my meeting last night, one of my favorite members shared her story. She has been in Al Anon for 25 yrs, and she's 80 yrs old. That means she didn't find a program of recovery until she was 55.

Her message is one of heartache, humor and hope. Today she lives a full and wonderful life, doing volunteer work. Her son has been clean and sober for 10 years, which means he found HIS recovery in his mid 30's. Their relationship has been enriched, and they are happy to share in each other's recovery.

This is just one of the many stories of recovery and hope that I hear. I think it's important that we all remember that recovery can happen any day, anytime. It's never too late!

It's never too soon and it's never too late, anytime is the right time to begin a program of recovery and start living as God intended, happy and free.

Thanks for the reminder and inspiration, Cat.
