The Discovering Alcoholic Salutes are a special recognition I like to bestow upon those in recovery who have overcome long odds, achieved great things, or added significantly to my recovery or the community in general. In the past I have honored a wide variety of individuals including an actress, astronaut and even my own dentist.
Tonight I would like to honor a fellow recovering alcoholic and addict, Frankie.
I am a 45 year old ex-con, recovering alcoholic/addict who was recently released from prison. I am finally getting a life for myself after so many years and it has been rough. ~ Frankiecon.blogspot.com

Frankie qualifies in all categories. He has overcome long odds by maintaining his sobriety and sanity while navigating the post-prison environment. He has achieved great things including a sense of dignity and purpose that make me, an “almost stranger”, feel great pride in a fellow alcoholic. He has been an inspiration to me as he has proven over and over that he is stronger than his disease. And more than anything, he has done it alone, all on his own. No fancy doctors, treatments, or drugs… Frankie alone and without help has stood resolute in his recovery and for that he has my respect and a well deserved TDA Salute.

Frankie,
congrats on making the top 100 list and for the nice vacation. sound great. i wanted to show you a video of Nicole, who is in recovery.
http://www.ahamoment.com/pg/moments/view/6628her story was told and recognized as important as part of the aha moment tour mutual of omaha is doing. if enough people vote for Nicole then her video will be part of the mutual of omaha campaign for 2010.
we'd like for one of the moments to be about the power for recovery so we're stopping by powerful bloggers going through something similar to see what they think.
