We haven't spoken in a while and I called... only to hear you are recovering from surgery. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please touch base when you feel up to it.
My hope is you can forgive me and allow me a chance to grow.
Go to a meeting. Call your sponsor. Get another day. This too shall pass.
As you begin the next year of your journey, take time not just to celebrate who you are, but who you have been along the way... and who you hope to become.
If I could give you whatever I like for your birthday, I would give you 10 times the joy you have brought to my life.
