thanks but I make this far by the grace of God, your support, AA, my kids I didn't do it alone.
Relying on God, however we understand God's presence, is foreign to many of us. We were encouraged from early childhood to be self-reliant. Even when we desperately needed another's help, we feared asking for it. When confidence wavered, as it so often did, we hid the fear--sometimes with alcohol, sometimes with pills. Sometimes we simply hid at home. Our fears never fully abated.
Finding out, as we all have found, that we have never needed to fear anything, that God was never distant, takes time to sink in. Slowly and with practice it will become natural to turn within, to be God-reliant rather than self-reliant.
Whatever our needs today, God is the answer.
There is nothing to fear. At last, I have come to know God. All roads will be made smooth.

If I have a chance, I will let you know that I'm alive and doing okay. Otherwise I will see you all in about 12 days. And it is for events like this that make being sober totally worth it. I get to be there 100% with the people that matter the most in my life.
Beautiful Altoids. Sobriety is just so beautiful.
