Re: Who We Are
In my past life I was a psychiatric nurse, working mostly outpatient, walk-in clinics. I went through a hippie phase and worked drug treatment programs. Finally realized I was an alcoholic myself and am now sober for 27 years!
At age 50 I decided to paint and found I am a pretty good artist, have won awards, etc. I consider it a gift of sobriety!
Do alot of volunteer work. Currently with animal shelter. Also a Navigator at the Cancer Center, working with newcomers. Started a Journal Group there too
My husband is an airline pilot so we have traveled to interesting places even though I dont love to fly!
No kids, 2 great dogs.
Keeping the faith.
