And There was Much Rejoicing for the Sheep that once was Lost...

Two or three months ago, we met a new member who was in deep, deep trouble. We welcomed her, supported her, encouraged her, and did whatever little we could.

Yesterday, she contacted us, a new person. She is exploding with happiness now, clean and sober. The chat room sounded as though we had all won a share in the biggest lottery prize ever won. Much rejoicing indeed.

For all of us, especially those reaching out for the first time, this is a reminder that there is a wonderful and beautiful life waiting for all of us, full of joy and wonder. Make that first commitment to yourself, and never waver. You might get only one chance.

Welcome back.
