KathleenMichelle's Blogs

Well, I certainly should be studying, but thought that a few words typed first wouldn't harm anyone. My name is Kathleen, and I am an addict, alcoholic, and mentally ill. For the first year of my recover, I let these labels define me. And don't get me wrong, I know I am these things, but today I also know...that I am much more. I am a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a lover, a friend, and a human being. I make my meetings...this time refusing to pick up any more chips. I have my white one...my first day clean 'one' and that's all I need. Today I ask for help staying clean, because let's face it...If I go back out, there's no garantee that I'll ever come back. but I also ask for help to see the beauty in this world, and the positivity, and the love that can be so hard to find in this crazy world we live in. Today, I ask to be a better person than I was yesterday. And not because I'm an addict, or alcoholic, or mentally ill, but because I am human...and I want to be the best person I can be...for me, and for all those around me who may need me one day.
