Today I attended a workshop at Austin Recovery.  Actually I volunteered.  That's how I managed to get in.  My buddy LaDonna has started a new Workshop for Women in Recovery at AR.  It is held on the 2ND Sunday of each month.  I have to tell you that I was truly honored to be there.  The speaker was amazing!!  What a treat to be around so many STRONG WOMEN!

     The library is slowly taking shape.  Since school started I have not had as much time to devote to it though.  I'm hoping the word will get out and donations will start pouring in!!!!  HINT HINT .

     On a more personal note.

     I met a man in Detox at AR on Friday.  He has been on my heart since then.  He reminds me of myself when I was there.  Broken.  I talked with him after the meeting and convinced him to go to The Ranch (Mens Intensive Inpatient Program).  The next day I went to see him.  He seemed shocked that I was there.  He truly has no friends or family.  Like so many addicts, he has burned most of his bridges and is having a hard time believing that getting sober is even worth all the blood , sweat and tears.  I did my best to show him that someone out here loves him and he is worth saving. 

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
