Back after two weeks :)

Greetings! I missed you all! I did not have access to a computer while I was gone, but I am back now. It was a VERY difficult path but well worth it. Nothing worth it comes easy. Hope you all are doing well in your journeys.

I learned so much.
I learned that I "know" a lot. My downfall is DOING IT. Time and again, that has been my downfall. But I feel acceptance of my path, and even if I get to dark corners, I know I can rebound. That is reassuring. I was previously taught that if I hit a dark spot that I am a leper.

Id like to share this:

"The Girl in the Glass"

"When you get what you want in your struggle for self
and the world makes you queen for a day
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
And see what THAT girl has to say.

For it isnt your husband or family or friend
Whose judgement upon you must pass;
That girl whose virdict counts most in the end
Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people may think you are a 'straight shooting chum'
And call you a person of place
But the girl in the glass says you're only a bum,
if you cant look her straight in the face.

She is the girl to please, never mind all the rest,
For she is with you up clear to the end.

And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the girl in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you cheated the girl in the glass. "

author unknown. Beautiful.

I like it....I remember towards the end of my drinking...I couldn't even look in the mirror....I didn't even know who that was.
