The Moon (Peace) -The sky above is vast and an ever-changing canvas that our sitting room and bedroom are pitched to enjoy. Nightly the ascending moon heralded an inevitable downhill slope of who I was, who I allowed myself to be with one eye on the world and one on the wine bottle. For 23 nights I now take to the patio steps and look skyward and stare at the majesty of it all. The silvery blue feathery sky turns to an indigo blue to a dark violet never turning to black and whispers 'thank you.' I enter into a nightly pact with my friend in the sky and promise to cherish this moment in the tumbling family kitchen and I breathe. Happily owning my piece of sky. -I have been the gift of seeing my movie to the horrible gruesome miserable sad end and the shocking train wreck woke me up with such a jolt that I was forced to a truth that was mine and mine alone. It is forever etched on my brain and in moments when the chorus begins singing in my head I press repeat and pull out my words written tearfully when asked by Kate's lesson what do you not like about yourself when drunk and was again forced to stop hiding behind excuses and lies - Family (LOVE) Thank you Sobriety. Clear Sight (I see) -Being clearheaded and fresh has made me fall in love all over again with this man of mine, with these boys of mine. They are my greatest work and my greatest choices and send a clear message to me, myself and I that through the darkness there was light, there was joy, there were moments of greatness, and despite wine witch bitches best efforts she had lost long before I started this course because my family was never going to leave me behind. Quietly they fought my corner when I didn't even know it. Quitely they built me up when I tore myself down. And quietly they stood in the wings knowing that one day I would wake up and when I did, they would be standing there with open arms and love. Thank you Sobriety. Day 104. I am now over 1600 days sober. Love Lisa W.xxxx
