I thoroughly enjoyed my anniversary night out at Zac's; I think everyone else seemed to have a good time too.
Two special things. Ruby gave me these flowers, a card, a big hug and some lovely words. 
And Barbie, a homeless child* and hopeless addict, who slept through last week's meeting, looked me right in the eye, gave me a lovely smile, and said, 'That was delicious, thank you.'
*She's late teens but has a child's vulnerability. And I use the term 'hopeless addict' because that's what people say, but there is hope for her. There has to be.
P.S. I don't use real names in Zac's except for Sean and Glenn.

There is always hope for her.... I've known people down that far - and worse who have come through it and now are great, alice, clean, sober, married, employed and happy.... most of all though free at last
alice?
Glad you had a rewarding night. At least someone gave you flowers!
The flowers are beautiful :-)
I'm glad your evening went well.
Thank you!
The flowers are lovely.... and there is always hope.
