1 Step at a Time Mind Body Spirit
We are all under construction.
It’s been awhile. Lots of changes. We changed locations, and got a new sofa. So yeah, I’ve had a lot going on. But I’ve continued to work with sponsees and besides being sick over the holidays, continued to serve at and attend recovery meetings. I have been feeling a bit disconnected lately though, with all… Continue reading Bursting the Bubble
The holidays can challenge our faith and our recovery. What's your plan?
Is it God will that I am seeking or my own?
