My husband and I took a long weekend to Vancouver this past week and it was my first sober vacation…in about 20 years!!! We had a wonderful time and it was absolutely beautiful.

2018…A New Year of hope and joy!
Well, it’s officially 2018 and I was sober for the 1st time on New Year’s Eve in about 25 years!!! If you haven’t quit drinking quite yet, and it is your New Year’s Resolution…you CAN DO THIS! For me, it ultimately took Rehab. A lot of people (including myself) are resistant to Rehab thinking it’s…
