guess what?

I purchased a new key chain holder thingie for my 11 year sobriety medallion. It came in the mail and I immediately went over to my mantle to fetch my medallion from my beautiful jewel encrusted butterfly box that had been gifted to me years ago by the lovely Gabriella Moonlight. That box held every single sobriety medallion I had ever received.

It was stolen in the break-in.

I just now noticed this.

I want to throw up.

Oh, God, Kristin. I'm so sorry. My thoughts are with you, darlin'.

How horrifying!!!! I am sick for you. That is just awful.

Maybe the thief will toss it away somewhere and forget about, and then rediscover it at the exact moment he decides he's powerless over alcohol, and then, 5 years from now, you'll hear someone share in a meeting about how they once stole a bunch of shit including a jewel-encrusted box containing 11 AA medallions...

Horrible, that sensation of belated discovery -- hugs to you Kristin. I miss Gabriella Moonlight's blog.

The wonderful thing, of course, is that nobody can steal what the medallions represent.

Syd said...

I am sorry about that. I hope that you will get another 11 year medallion for your key chain.

Oh I like "thenoiseandhaste" and "louisey"'s comments! I love a different outlook and people who strive for the positive in a definite negative.

Still, that does suck!!! I can only hope Karma will come through somehow.

Elizabeth said...

I'm so sorry! That is really heartbreaking. I pray that you experience something wonderful to offset this loss.

Big hugs Kristen!

Like Louisey implies--those medallions are merely outward signs of passage of years of sobriety. What is inside you is what counts...lots of hard work, change, and spiritual growth.
Love and PEACE, Kristin!
