		<description><![CDATA[I don't spout too much 12 step history here.  It's not my history.  I haven't found that I need to rewrite my story or to deny what I'm experiencing in life in order to show that we recover.  I share my story because I've learned that when I do, when I write about what's really going on in my life, I get the support I need to make it through another day sober, I get closer to being the person my Creator intends me to become, and sometimes, someone says, "I wanted to thank you so much for posting about [that]. Itâ€™s given me the courage to finally start posting about [my] issues. And that has been good for me. Not only that, but other people have been reaching out to me [for help]."]]></description>

You had to have pretty great legs to pul[ this look off, but there were always a couple of guys in gym class who fit the bill. I think the poly-knit [...]]]></description>
