When you stand on the main street of your village with a friend who is not in recovery and you are not either, and the person says, "So, you are JoAnne Kitchen," it is hard to beat. I still remember the feeling of horror today. It ended up she had advertising in the Autumn Leaf Magazine that I was assistant editor for and wrote a couple columns for, plus proof read everybody's editorials, including the presidents and wrote the column for a couple of the chair people with the information they gave me. You just never know when you are the preacher's son's daughter who married the village drunk's son. ![]() In today, I don`t take the credit or the blame.

My pain is always there, it takes many forms and I never know when and where it is going to make itself known. Some days, all I can do is pray and give myself a hug.

![]() On a serious note, went back to school at the age of 59 and got a certificate of Business Administration om Communications and even got a call back after a resume and job interview. I didn't get the job, I was so glad. I had to go through the formality, but knew the mind was strong but the body was weak and I could not work an 8 hour day. Up until 5 years ago, I have always done volunteer work outside of the rooms of recovery.

As we work through the Steps we heal, and as we heal we get new perception, honesty and insight, and it is an awakening, a new awareness, a process, and not a graduation. It is one day at a time. You have today, and anything that you have in today that is rooted in the past. My boyfriends got the sins of my two ex-husbands until I could work the steps, heal my feelings and deal with the trauma, pain, emotions, and hurts. I didn't know what love was, I just knew what it wasn't.

The only way I could end that feeling was when I embraced the spiritual aspect of the fellowship.
