We were belted with a very unusual Northeaster snow storm in the Hudson Valley AREA OF upstate New York this weekend.Over 148000 power outages cause heavy snow on leave lined trees came toppling down,We were blessed only lost web availability wi/fi and TV....Wires down /trees laying on houses,telephone poles toppled,mother nature rearing her head...State of Emergency for Dutchess county where I live.I was able to attend my sponsors 22 year celebration and another friend with 4 years last evening.....I didnt realize I was asked to share cause my phone service was down but always a blessings to be asked to take part in anyones celebration. My story is always the same and all I can share is my ESH..It was a great turnout for an aftermath from a freak storm, probably about 70 addicts in all their splendor:) As our 12th step states sharing with another recovering addict we do become visions of hope,examples that the program works and that "our" joy in living clean becomes an attraction to the still sick and suffering,,,Welcome everyone ,to another day of life, if you are new or just coming around,wont you join us for that "free trial period",bring some tools(an open mind,a willingness and some honesty,take some suggestions and keep showing up)you can always refund your misery at your leisure...WE hope you stick and stay and find that way to become that "vison of hope" to the next sick and suffering individual,just takes some work,guided by the Higher Power of your choice and application of the tools.....Have a blessed and productive day..........No TV ,like I grew up listening to old shows on grandma's radio,using my imagination,,,was ,is,(still out) a nice fade back to when things seemed a littl more simple......(p.s. my wife not likin it!!!!)
