Today is my 16th sobriety birthday!!!!!!

Wow my i phone tells me its 192.01 months and 5844 days !!!!!!!!!!! one day at a time.  Why I was able to face all of this life that I have, is far beyond my understanding.But I do know right now this very day and I have known why for the last 4 of my years in this fellowship.I have done the work to the best of my ability and continue to my best,not that I do it perfectly but that it is MY best.
Every day is a day that I must carry the message of recovery to those who want it!!
Thank you Judith H. the first women to take me through the steps Thank you Ira for our time together, both of you passed this life and with me you left the knowledge that this program can and will work for anyone whom seeks it.Thankyou Wendy for teaching me how to meditate .
My wonderful Tyla my sista in recovery , for sharing the Big Book Awakening with me!!Which in turn changed the quality of my recovery. Thank you Mark Houston for showing me how to run a sober living home,thru the work you did while you were here on this earth. Many more thanks to Fred whom I have known since my first months in recovery,you continue to suport me in so many ways you will never know!! Lastly let me not forget the women in my support group that have always been there for me thru the boyfriends, husbands, Clintons accident, the rebuilding of my life, thank you Catherine for all the laughter that has healed my wounds,Barbara,Andrea,Wendy and Tyla, for the love andsupport that only a woman can give another woman!Thank you Mike my exhusband, for all your support during the most difficult days,months,years after my son,Clintons accident.Thank you Greg,Fred,Tom,Gregory.
Of course I give thanks to my own personal God,Power of this universe creator of all things A God that I never fear ,A God that I can always rely on A God that does for me what I could never do on my own.My God that keeps me safe when I never felt safe before!!!
I stand an empowered woman !! I am a miracle.

I am so proud of you Kathleen and all that you have down and will do for these women, helping them is honoring your life and celebrating your own experiences. So many people are afraid to make a mistake..but it is NOT a mistake if you have learned something from that experience. That is something I have always tried to teach my boys and I experience it with horse training too which i hope we can teach in our new Confidence Program.
