Oops. I missed yesterday.
Try again.
I have a new sponsee. She is just back from a slip. Seems like a LOT of people went out over the Holidays. People with a little time to people with decades of sobriety. Very disturbing. And sad. I have one friend who jsut went out this week. She had just gotten out of jail on a DUI charge. She nearly died not too long ago from her last relapse. This leaves me with a sense of forboding. And deep grief.

Please Goddess look after her. And please gift me a Gods' tongue when talking to my sponsees that I may say what they need to hear. It isn't my *skill* that will keep anyone sober. It's just a gift. Sobriety, that is. There are tools that help and practises that make it more likely but it is still a gift. sorta like ya can't win the lottery if ya don't buy a ticket.
I guess that makes it sound like chance. Why do some people make it and some not? I wish I knew.
