Wholehearted Living
Happy, Joyous and Free in Sobriety
by Brene’ Brown (Edit and Inserts by Ron C.)

Owning our story, and loving ourselves through that process, is the bravest thing we will ever do … This can be hard, but not nearly as hard as spending our lives running from it. (Brene’ Brown) Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept myself and my life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy, joyous, and free in sobriety. (BB-417, 133)
