one year
A celebration of sobriety
Still you lift a glass
A smile to my face,
That means,"Kiss my ass."
The actions of a fool
Are not those of a friend
Will the life you are leading
Get you to some pleasant end?
I don't know too much
But I know what I've lived
I'm thankful for my life
And for those who forgive
So I'll smile back at you
And turn the other cheek
And you'll laugh in my presence
And think that I'm weak
But I know what I know
And I know what is true
And though you'll never believe it
I know more than you

congratulations.
and i don't know you but i'm
proud that you took those strong steps.
and anyone that reminds you of your
past failures is a failure themself
in my opinion.
i am glad you have your forgiveness from
other's though.

Rachelle
Congrates! one year its proly the hardest and worst!All rolled into one. Ive been there 5 times myself!And low and behold on the 5th time I stayed .. I now have 11 yrs..
The one thing i know to be true is Quoted on page 570 in The Big Book
"There is one principle which is bar against all information,which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man/woman in everlasting ignorance- that principle is contempt proir to investigation"
Herbert Spencer
So yes Ive need this alot of times and it has been invalueable to my recovery.
Again Congrats!
yours

Rachelle,
A hard battle to fight!
I watched my ex-wife go through it...
Then I myself.
Thanks for such a positive insight on the subject!
