| Introduction | I grew up in a family of seven kids and a dog in a tiny village in Southern Ontario. My family suffered with the disease of alchoholism. Alcoholism has affected every aspect of my life from birth on. For many years I did not know the impact it had on me, very poor choices and worse behaviors, until 1997 I met and married a handsome, talented and happy fellow named Jim. Jim liked to drink. In fact Jim liked to drink alcohol so much that in 1999 he lost his life to alcoholism through liver disease. In the "program" I hear often that so and so does not have another recovery in him. I now understand that Jim had no recovery in him. It was this tragic event of loss in my life, that began my Journey in Authenticity. I was a complete and utter failure, my life was a mess, my life was chaotic, I was a slave to my additions as well as a hopeless co-dependant addict. Recovery does not come easy. It has been a process of progress over the past few years. My life has been saved and I am a new creation through the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Today, I am sober and I work a program of recovery. God has blessed me abundantly with His Grace. |
