5 Incredible Solution Seeking Sober Women

A Shot Glass of Recovery

When I went to Maine to speak at their 45th Annual Round up, I had no idea how many gifts I was about to receive.

I met beautiful, sweet, soulful Mel who made this trip happen and was the organizer extraordinaire. Mel is like me in that she wears her emotions on her sleeve and is always ready for a hug.

Their was my grand sponsee, Rena. One tough cookie on the outside but inside, so deeply grateful to be one of, a part of the tribe. She just walked around soaking it all up like a sponge.

Rena's Sponsor and my sponsee Tricia. Who in spite of her fear of the outdoors, braved Maine to come hang with us all. She brings the light and laughter wherever she goes and I'm better for having met her.

Then there is April, my shy sponsee who was so nervous I had to ask her if she wanted to ask me to be her sponsor? How does she survive New York?! April is another sweet, kind being who just oozed gratitude in the whole 12 hours she was with us. That's right she drove up Saturday night. I'm so glad God deemed us destined to meet.

Finally, I got to meet my newest Sponsor, Miss Stacey...in PERSON.

I feel like I'm blessed to be in the presence of what I consider AA royalty (I winced when I typed that cuz she'd probably smack me and say "don't put anyone on a pedestal but God.")

She is warm, kind, the most amazing listener and makes me feel like I am the most important person in the room when we talk. She

is the mother I always wished I had. (Even if that would make me Steve Martin in The Jerk).

The conference was great, but meeting these women in person was Gods true gift.
