There's a woman that I know from AA, who has been sober now for just over 15 years who really inspires me. She's a few years older than me, so late 50's.
When she was younger she played in a rock band which is where she first started drinking and her band was reasonably successful - a couple of albums and toured North America.
I guess about 7 or 8 years ago she formed a punk rock band with some people that she met in AA. The got together initially just to jam, but started playing some local gigs. Well they recently had a breakaway hit, and they're now booked on a cross Canada tour.


I'm so excited for her that her dreams are coming true, and it inspires me to think that maybe my life can go in interesting new directions,
