Living, Loving, & Laughing at Life in Recovery
This one is ‘from the vault’
I wrote the following some time ago in response to a friend’s niece who had lost one of her classmates to suicide. It really got me thinking how fortunate and blessed with God’s Grace I really am. I say God’s grace because that is the only explanation for the fact that I am still here and writing this to you all.
HOWDY world!
So here it is a little after 3 months after my dear friend Christie and my father encouraged me to start a blog. I didn’t even really know what a blog was! But as the title to this post says…I figured I better ‘let go’ of my perfectionism which leads to procrastination and get this sucker up! Sooooo,
WELCOME to High on Hugs! My name is Clairey and I am an addict in recovery. I got my foundation in one 12 step fellowship and attend another now that I’m back in Wyoming. You’ll hear me call myself an addict and an alcoholic. It doesn’t really matter to me as I know my problem is me and the drugs, alcohol, whatever were but a symptom.
Most importantly I am Clairey, a wife, mom, friend, daughter, sister etc. Making people laugh has always been something that fuels me, so hopefully as I deal with life on life’s terms on a day to day basis you all can get a good giggle as well and maybe just maybe realize YOU are not alone in this journey called life and like me start to laugh at yourselves as well.
I’ll try to carry a positive message as often as I can but I’m human so sometimes I’ll be carrying a mess! My gift today is I have a solution as long as I’m willing, open, and honest! I look forward to getting some feedback and getting to know all you folks out there! ((((HUGS)))))
