stories of recovery and healing
Glad to check in and say recovery and healing are ongoing processes. They need a lot of support and focus. I am entering my 44th year of recovery this 2022 and being grateful is the steady constant over all these decades.
I hope to post again more regular in the coming weeks. As some of us hear, “keep coming back”.
Up stairs in our loud messy home, the morning after Halloween 1967, my 9 year old younger sister Julie said, to our weak hungover mother “ mom everyone in the neighborhood is calling you and dad drunks and our family white trash, can’t you do anything like go to AA like Uncle Joe?” Julie’s tender spark intervention plea caused mom to call AA’s Washington DC area intergroup phone number. The next night mom and dad attended their first of thousands of meetings and they both died sober decades later.
Let’s consider what that looks and feels like to you?
