  Once upon a time, beautiful lessons learned and shared  Upon entering "The Program" I had some kind of idea as to what it'd be like, though I really didn't think it would be an agenda taking priority over every aspect of my life. The amends I would have an opportunity to make were not to get something back, rather they were mandatory if I was ever to achieve a lasting peace within myself. It was in effect a way to say farewell to a lifestyle that was no longer appropriate, satisfying or conducive to my 'Recovery'. Of course, having completed an exhaustive inventory, and getting a good look at the behaviors involved, how could I possibly return to those old ways. Relationships were of a high priority.

 Happy 2014 What an amazing time to be alive, seeing all of these beautiful people affected by hep c , clearing it out of their lives forever.  After all of the losses and we've endured over the last 10 years in our "OOB" home.  Today marks a very important and a very intense feeling of accomplishment, because we never gave up trying.  I am so grateful for everyone that showed their love and concern for me, as I went through six long years of countless shots and pills to kill the virus.  I cleared in 2007 and vowed to stay and help the people that got me through the most difficult time in my life.  There is a wealth of information and people from all over the world that love helping each other make it, I'm so very grateful to be a small part of their lives as well.   "OOB" has always been powered by God, and He has shown us the way.  Thank you for making my life most fulfilling and happy.  Kat & Hep C Out Of Bounds ...

I don't know what the future holds for me. Will I end up in a wheelchair, die or will I be one of the lucky ones. If you find me being quiet and reflective, please don't think I am upset with you. I am trying to sort out my fears. I am angry. Liver Disease has taken so much away from me. I can no longer do many of things I enjoy doing. I sometimes have difficulty just completing simple tasks. If I appear angry please understand it i...
