After I got out of the hospital in 1993 I started right away with meetings to AA as much as I could. Today I am clean and sober 6 and a half years and still going strong. I dove into educating myself on my disorder when I got out of the hospital in 1993 and am still educating my self until this day. I live in the same town that I was raised, Pecatonica, Illinois. We bought our own home 3 years ago and our house is over 100 years old, claw foot bath tub and all.
Life is a challenge but is worth living today.
Even on my toughest days, I still make it through. I came upon the Winds of Change 2 years ago through a search engine and have been here ever since, on and off at times. I would not be anywhere else as I have become part of a wonderful community of people who care and know how I feel at any given time. I have had to quit my job of 4 years this past May but am hoping someday that I can go back to work, even if it is part time. I would love to get back to work in a green house.
