I’ve always found the serenity prayer comforting . I feel like so much life advice can be supplanted with the serenity prayer. Congrats on your projects coming to a completion soon (?) and hopefully life will be a tad less stressful afterward. 123 pages is nothing to sneeze at!

My high school boyfriend gave me a charm bracelet and the charm was engraved with the Serenity Prayer. I thought the prayer was to help me cope with me. But now I realize it was to help me cope with my depression and fury with my parents' drinking habits, big loud drunken parties and the regular evening cocktails, one, two, three.... that I complained about, cried about. I wish I still had that bracelet, but the thought remains. Thanks, Katie.

I think that this is the perfect world for your book. When I started my sobriety journey I was definitely not in the majority of my friend-group and may still not be, but lately it seems as though everyone I encounter is trying to slow down, maybe quit, or just complains about how much less fun it is to over-indulge. I have faith in you and think you will kill it.

Well, I'm sure late to the party.

I can recall seeing, on an old aunt's wall, some kitsch embroidery in a frame. Blah, blah, blah.

Years later in an AA meeting... damn, that's a road map!
