One of the goals I have had most of my life was to someday be a published writer. That is still one of my goals and, perhaps, by writing for “BellaOnline”, I edge a bit closer to that reality. A few years ago, in an attempt to find spirituality, I had my aura read. There were many aspects of this reading that I will always remember but none I recall as vividly as his “sight” into my throat chakra. He told me I would write a book and that it would be enjoyable, light and of a spiritual nature (probably not a best seller!). I was elated! It was the subject matter, however, that would continue to elude me. Until now!

If anyone would have told me I would be writing about 12 Step Recovery I would never have believed it. But the reality is that I AM in a 12 Step program and I am grateful for the opportunity to share with all of you my journey from addiction to the never-ending road of recovery.

As the Editor of 12 Step Recovery, I welcome any and all questions pertaining to addiction and recovery whether it is for you or for a loved one. There are seldom any clinical answers and that is a great thing because I can feel comfortable responding to you from the depths of my heart and soul.

Because of my recovery, I have been able to resume my career of many years working with adults in technical schools. Today, I am more involved in my work than ever before but try to find as much time as possible to sponsor and give back what I was so freely given. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters and my most prized treasures, eight grandchildren. Life is good!

PS My first book, "The Intervention Book, Stories and Solutions by Addicts, Professionals, and Families", is being presold on both Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The release date is September 1. This book is for anyone who is addicted and for anyone who has a family member or friend in an addiction. That should include just about everyone! I hope you will read it.
