I LASTED THROUGH THE SUMMERTIME!


I am so happy to say I have made it through this summer with my sobriety still intact. I am very grateful to all the people who have shared in my trek to my new goal of living a sober lifestyle. So far so good, I have lost a couselor, but gained another one, who is new and exciting and grateful. I feel he has added a new piece of soberlife he play's the flute. He start's are group's with a little flute music, I feel that it set's the mood for spiritual growth inside. I think other member's feel the same way. I have posted this poster to the left, it is from a Native owned business, I enjoyed the thought of Native women being strong, of which I am, and the we can do it, and whatever we set our minds to. I have set my mind to being sober for life. I won't let anything stand in my way. I have finally found a Mental Health counselor I am working with, to see why I have started with alcohol & drugs for so many years in the first place. I need to get down to the secret of it all. If there is a secret to get down to, I will find it after some more appointment's with her. I am doing some real soul searching and inner work on myself. That is really long overdue. I seeking the reasons why one would waste their whole entire life on drugs & alcohol, could it really be for no apparent reason or what? I hope not, I did come from an abusive homelife. But, I bet alot of other' s have also, did they spend their whole live's using or in Addiction like I have. Or am I different in this way. I don't think so, there are alot of Native people who suffer with addiction. I just want to get to the bottom of this, so I can possibly help future Native women in their Addiction issues, before they waste as many years as I have.
