KATHY'S THOUGHTS
Story of Life
Do you tell yourself and others that your life is difficult, hard, and frustrating? Have you ever said “I hate my life?” Is your life story one that excites you or does it bring you down? Do you tell yourself and others that your life is difficult, hard, and...
Welcome Patchy!

How does a horse help you build your dreams?
How does a horse help you get through recovery? For many addicts, using the power of animals, especially the graceful gentleness found in many horses, may be just what you need to help you connect with a part of you that has been lost or consumed by alcohol or another...

Vacation!
I told myself that I’d never be able to go on vacation sober. Why would I even want to? I wanted to party and relax by the pool with a cocktail in my hand. I stayed drunk for so many years because I couldn't envision my life without having a drink. As with so many...
