Let us share in the joy of the season. Holidays can be very hard (if we choose them to be). Let’s stay in the hope that can come from the smallest of joys. I’ve had several folks I know share such stories after reading my post on the holidays. One dear friend made me cry with joy at WORK no less … she’ll get hers LOL.
I challenge you to share your stories of hope, faith, joy, love, growth from pain … etc etc. Let’s give a little back to those who just might need a reason to celebrate. This goes for people who are in recovery from ANYTHING here … (gambling, drugs, alcohol, sex, another person, etc …) and for the people who love us recovering folk.
Stop by, write a comment, drink a cup of cheer. Or hot chocolate … but cheer doesn’t make my ass bigger. Wait!!! I hear big asses are in style this year … whatever.
I will post them ALL, write me a story, tell me all about it, send it here, or at soberandsassy@yahoo.com. TELL me … TELL US … we will listen.
Share a gift with another. The gift of compassion and love. The gift of YOU.
We’ll be waiting.


In my early recovery days, a cup of hot chocolate was, and is, a treat, to be savored and appreciated, with thanks being given for some freedom of choice today. Mike
