God is becoming clearer again. I forgot God when drinking.
My son is alive and well..and visiting.
I have 3 months and 6 days alcohol-free after 9 month relapse after 13 years alcohol-free.
I am able to identify today that I am moody and frustrated for a few reasons and it’s ok.
I’m not sick or handicapped yet at 66.

All very wonderful news Kathy and thank you for sharing. I happen to be disabled and having worked as an engineer for two decades after I left the military, it hurts my pride every day that I have been unable to work for the last 3 years. I do have faith that I will be able to return to the workplace and soon. For the time being I make time for family, Fellowship both in church and in the sober and recovery communities.
I understand losing track of your faith and relationship with god. It is a sad thing. I currently choose to make Celebrate Recovery my recovery home as I enjoy the faith-based approach. Though I will admit when I first started my journey I needed more help than I believe they are able to provide. So happy to hear about your son as well as your journey and restored faith!

So it’s been valuable time while not working. I hope you can go back to work soon. I worked 38 yrs for Feds..I am done working. Honestly, just passed 10 yr mark for retirement. It has been busy, busy, too busy. I retired and lost my last 3 family members besides my son. Lost sister, brother, father. It’s been lonesome. But now I finally understand that “they’re in a better place,” I used to hear it and say, “I think this place is ok.” I’m not so sure about this place anymore.
