today is my 15 year wedding anniversary. this has been a really tough year for my husband and i. the affects of our daughter's addiction and our codependency may have taken a big toll on our relationship, had we not found recovery and support in alanon and the 12 steps. instead of being a devastating time for our marriage, it has been one of our strongest growing years, in many ways.

i am grateful today.

You are proof that it begins with us and it works if we work it. The silver lining in child's addiction is that the pain provides us with an amazing opportunity for growth. The key is to be wise enough to see the opport. You are a wise woman. Happy #12
You are an inspiration.
