The year is just about up

Wow hard to believe a year ago at this time I was struggling to think if being sober was even worth it or for that fact if dying wouldn't have been a better option for me. I'm grateful that in just 7 short days I will have 1 year of total soberity. It's been an amazing journey full of self discovery and new insights on life. I'm truely grateful to have grown in my relationship with a God of my own understand. I'm still going to treatment but you know what that's ok because there are still things that I need to work through. Life is amazing that's all I can say. So yesterday I started a new class through treatment called Play Theraphy for Adults. In my internships in college I did play therapy with children and so I wasn't sure what to think about this class. It was actually a really cool class and I can't wait to go back next week. This week it was a team building exercise where we were split into 3 (2 people) groups. We were given a paper bag filled with straws, tape, and a ruler. Our goal was to build the tallest freestanding tower out of the materials given. Well for the first part of the activity my partner and I were aloud to talk to each other but half way through we were given a piece of paper from the city counseler member and ours said that our union was on strike and we couldn't talk to each other. YUCK at first we were at lost on what to do but we quickly regrouped and were able to communicate with motions and facial expressions. We were the group that won. The other groups had different messages but no other group was not aloud to talk. This made me think that in recovery I'm not always able to get ahold of other people but that I can always go to God and talk to him. Other things going on this month are I'm celebrating next friday by going to Dr/ Bob's House with a friend for my one year, I giving my first lead in AA at the end of the month, and also I'm singing Palm Sunday plus throw in ROCK group stuff and more iv iron and it's pretty full. Life is a journey!
