Every Thanksgiving I look back on my last Thanksgiving before sobriety. May I never forget what it was like. And if I ever do, may Strip (my memoir) be there to remind me.
An excerpt from the day itself back in 2009.

Not sure why this post warranted so many views. But I wanted to thank every single person who so graciously responded & who took it upon yourselves to help look into for me. Without you I would not have known Strip was out of print.

Checking out a book sale at the library, I was inspired to ask about volunteering opportunities to facilitate a writing workshop. I choose to stay in action, to ask myself what I can contribute as opposed to falling into despair.
