Got to see my daughter get married....how incredible it was...a beautiful small ceramony on the beach on the Outer Banks. This is the best gift of sobriety I could ever have. People who know my story knoow the hell I went through and the hell she went through--that either of us are alive is a blessing by the grace of god and attributed totally to the Steps and process of recovery.
I am so glad the day went well. When I got sober I did not have much idea about family an' stuff, but now it's one of the greatest miracles of sobriety. To be welcome and to participate in such special occasions is such an incredible privilage, and brings such joy to my life. It's what sobriety is all about.
Loved the picture of the happy couple, and by the sea too! My favourite place.
God bless,
Mike H.
