I am so grateful for all that I have and I want nothing more than to share this joyful life with as many people as who will participate. I wasn't always as happy as I am today. I had many years of struggling to figure out life, and it included a lot of drinking. Today I have been in recovery for many years and I am so grateful for a life of contented sobriety and spirituality.
The Brick House is intended to be a recovery house. What is it that gives someone the strength to do the work it takes to stay sober. I know it takes a lot of support, and I was lucky enough to have that support. If it were not for my step-mom Sue, I would be dead. I was in a meeting this morning, and I had the opportunity to listen to a woman who has been struggling with this for years, and has recently become homeless, and another woman who is about to get 6 months sober tomorrow. "I was hurting myself as much as I was hurting anyone else." and.."Drinking was our solution, not our problem." Yesterday when I on the phone with the seller of the houses I leaned down and picked a 7 leaf clover. I am not kidding. Then he rejected my offer and the skys opened up and it started to rain. It was like the heavens were crying. We need this goodness in the world.
