I will never forget 2011.
I stopped alcohol, and started working on myself.
Rediscovered that underneath all those years of blushing drunkeness, I am still a worthwhile, lovable human being who responds to encouragement and honesty.
Re-gifted myself time and the ability to calmly accept patience and humility as great personal learning forces.
Learned just to sit quietly and watch the chickens and my adorable daughters and simply let life happen by.
Accepted the power of forgiveness and accepted how powerful just surrendering to forgive others can be such a weight off my shoulders.
Revealed my innermost thoughts to a silent, intelligent audience online who share and support me even when I write things that might not be exactly on topic. The blogging friends are always there, just out of sight, quietly reading.
It is such a source of peace and satisfaction and strength to just know that as my thoughts drip from my fingertips - someone is reading and has been there too.
So thanks for being a huge part of my recovery in 2011 - it is such a powerful tool to have your support and encouragement. I simply could not have done it without you.
Thank you, for your comments, your time and your just being there, I swear I could feel it and it was such a warm sensation to have you share in my recovery and let's look forward to a sober, calm, and honest 2012.
