Dreams and hopes 9/3/2005 7:54:22 AM
A new life began 11 years ago this weekend. And as I look to the Gulf coast I know that from their tragedy, they will return stronger then before. Godspeed... 11 years ago this weekend, I hit rock bottom. There was no where I could go. I had two choices - to die or to try and "create" a life. Yeah, 11 years ago today, around noon time, I had my last drink. I had no idea what life would be like without alcohol, but I knew my life with it, had to end. I am truly thankful that God stayed by my side and gave me strength to find out what sobriety is all about.
It hasn't been easy - no one said it would be - but it has been "real." Without this reality I wouldn't have been able to handle the pains that have come my way. But on the other side of the coin, I also couldn't have rejoiced the writing of a book or most recently being named an editor for a poetry column in SE Nebraska. I always need to remember my dreams, when reality deals me a bad hand - the dreams keep me going...
