After 11 months sober, I was ready on Friday to jack it all in for a bottle of wine & a serious go at taking my life. I didn’t do either. Today I remain a grateful recovering alcoholic, whose life has been saved – yet again – by the grace of God, the commitment of a fantastic sponsor, and the miracle that is the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous & the 12 step recovery programme. I’m not running the show. And because of that, I am enjoying a sense of protection that I never knew possible

I think this is about topic:
“Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace
It’s a name for a girl
It’s also a thought that changed the world
And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace, she’s got the walk
Not on a ramp or on chalk
She’s got the time to talk
She travels outside of karma
She travels outside of karma
When she goes to work
You can hear her strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace, she carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things

Grace makes beauty out of ugly things”

braving the elements

when I was active in my drug addiction I was a bull in a china shop. The god of my understanding led me to step 1 in the recovery process.
It’s always going to be work in progress. And my best thinking, as they say, got me here.

AA is enough – AA works, if you work it.
