PO Box 1980

Like many people in recovery I was setting out to try new things. I had my sponsors telling me to "get high on life." New experiences were the fruits of sobriety, the joys of life without the hangovers. Long distance running, scuba diving, skiing and even ski-diving were my new thrills. Retreats, meditation, and public service came later in sobriety. Writing was an activity I had always wanted to try so I wrote a story for the Grapevine. After a couple of rewrites I sent the article in and waited anxiously to see my words in print.
