She is worth the prayers so as you care and remember please add her in. My deepest Mahalo in return to this family. ((((hugs))))

When the miracles in the program and because of the program started to happen in my life I changed how I abided with my HP who showed me how I was abided with on a daily basis. This is one of many miracles I have witnessed only more personal because of who else, my daughter, was also affected. My children and I are not as close as I originally desired because of the disease of addiction in our lives and how it destroyed our family. I was forced thru the divorce procedure to take my hands off my family and daily care given over to the addict. "The court does not consider a male parent as a viable parent" I was told and the rest was a horrible history and the worse resentment I have used the program and the principle of forgiveness on. Because of that alone I have repaired and continued on with my life till today. HP is a great engineer of my recovery and along with the tools including my sponsorship line has allowed me to experience happiness and joy. My expectations are that I will experience more as I continue to participate with and in our program of recovery.
My daughter's middle cultural name is Anela which means angel and she has that personality which goes with it. I am grateful that you, my MIP family prayed for a gift of recovery for her. It gave the title of this site by John, a very real meaning. Mahalo Piha. ((((hugs))))
