Kendramama: ‘But For The Grace Of God …”

I was both bemused and saddened to see that the Fugitive of the Week in the Cd'A Press was a guy I've known since middle school, and incidentally, was the one who introduced me to the meth scene up here in Idaho back in '91. I had heard that he was clean, employed, and had a couple of kids, but apparently that didn't last. It's always sobering (pun very much intended) to come across evidence that the disease of addiction brings people in recovery down each and every day. The stark reminder that I could be one of them should I stop working my program always gives me pause- makes me think, there but for the grace of God go I.../Kendramama

Question: When was the last time that you thought to yourself: "There but for the grace of God go I"?
