The Roustabout Heart: Adventures in Recovery

If I ignore where I came from, I may forget what I've done. If I forget what I've done, I may do it again. And if I do it again, I'm right back where I started.

I love talking about recovery. It's my favorite topic in the whole world. Being sober is the most important thing in my life. All the other cool stuff I know and enjoy depends on this commitment.

I have wonderful friends, a solid marriage and a happy, healthy family. I believe in my heart that I deserve these privileges. My relationship with God is strong and beautiful. I've got dreams and goals. These are all huge developments.

I'm okay with letting folks know the details of my experience. I like sharing my feelings. I am hopeful and proud of the person I'm becoming.
