Today is May 22nd and that means that it is my 8th anniversary of becoming (and remaining) sober. It is also the Feast Day of St. Rita of Cascia, information on her life can be found here:
(Via SQPN.)
She is the Patroness of impossible, lost and forgotten causes. That is something that a lot of us alcoholics and addict can relate to. We were considered all of those at one point.
She is also the Patroness of physical and sexual abuse victims, those in difficult or troubled marriages.
I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
Congratulations.
Thank you!
Congratulations on your 2,920th day!
Only 2,920? 😉
Paul, you are the strongest person I know! Congratulations on your 8 continual years of sobriety, baby! I LOVE YOU! I wish I had just one iota of your strength of character and conviction! Thanks HOLY SPIRIT for helping Paul, and for bringing us together. I LOVE YOU BOTH!
Thanks hunny bunny! (That's my wife, Rose S.)
Congratulations, Paul! St. Rita of Casica is the patron of our parish.
Thanks, Dymphna!
Congratulations on 8 years. I only have 4 but hopefully many more will follow for both of us.
Thanks Contra! I'm sure your 4 years is the first 4 of many more.
