I developed a faith in the program, a renewed faith in my God, and faith in myself. |

It isn't about the A in my life, it is about me and my attitude and how I handle my emotions and my life on life's terms. |

I have always had a gift for gab. I was told at 14 that I talked with my eyes. Apparently over the years, I learned to talk with my body. I learned over the years, that the body can say a lot, so had to learn to translate the messages being sent to me and be careful about the messages I was sending out. In today, I try to be a channel, a clean clear channel, for my God. His Words, His Message, His Will, not mine be done. |

I have been confrontational and called them on their stuff, but I haven't pulled a hissy fit yet, at least to my way of thinking. ;) I am a little fearful of tears and losing it, so I want to go in strong with my God by my side, and know that He is there, and put things forward so they can see things from my perspective. |

I got my certificate for Accounting on Computers only to find I didn't have an honest desire to go back into the work force, I had done my time, and had no fight left to go into the steel jungle and I no longer had that tiger in the tank. I chose to volunteer with Housing who offered free internet services to the community and got involved in service and went into the jail for NA (helped get meetings started) and then for Al-Anon when I chose to change fellowships. For my recovery, I had to focus on Al-Anon with an AA meeting when required. |

The only purpose and direction in my life is posting the readings and sharing recovery on the sites, and if I don't get that done, I feel like I am not living up to my standards and allowing 'things' to get in the way. Sometimes I am too hard on myself because I came to realize I had added on a lot of extra things to the sites to interest guests with the hopes that they will keep coming back, and a lot of the things I had trouble keeping up. So I just try to do what I can do, and be kind to myself so I can be kind to you. |

I try to share with the hope that others will see themselves in me and not have to take the road I took or if they find themselves on the same road, they can turn around or find the next road and take a detour. Recogizing where we are at is so important. We can't do nothing if we are not aware, we just stumble along in the dark, if we don't turn on the light and don't look at where we are going and where we are at. Things that have been good for us for many years just may not serve us in today and we need to change. It may have wore out it's welcome or we may have changed enough that we need more than what it provides. It isn't about right or wrong, it is about getting our needs met. If our God leads us to it, He will see us through it. If it is there, it doesn't always mean it is of the Devil's making, it just may be a new enlightenment sent to you by your God, a Gift for you in a new form and one that you need to implement into your life, throw away the old and make room for the new, or make adjust the old to make new in today. It is about attitude, perception, and an open mind. Why do we want to continue to stay stuck in the old, continue to hurt ourselves, and others because we insist on stay stuck in the old, unwilling to change and mired in the past with feet of clay, which prevents us from moving forward with our life. |

It isn't any better out there. I thank them for doing my research for me. Just for today, I choose not to use. |

The old feeling for me, some is good more is better and I turn it inward and use it to beat myself up and always made myself feel less than, or allowed others to make me feel that way. It originally started by being projected onto me, and I took up the cross and played the role of the martyr. |

As they say, misery loves company. The one thing I have found that my misery doesn't stick around very long when the sun shines, so if there is no sun, I try to turn on all the lights. |

That Step 7 follows Step 6. That happiness can be a quiet peaceful thing, it doesn't have to be a uproarious thing that shakes the earth. |

Sometimes people say, "I can read you like a book," and I cringe; yet for the most part, and on most days, my life is an open book and you can read it any time. Not saying it will be interesting, but if it will keep you clean and sober, and if it will help you find a few inner truths about yourself, help you find comfort and some hope, you are welcome to read it any time. |

I was told to say, "This is what I heard you say, and this is what I took it to mean, is that what you meant and/or wanted to say?" |

Last night I did a meditation and did a prayer and meditation. I had a set of angel cards and asked for what I needed heal the pain in my hip. The card said, "Ask!" I sat in my chair holding the cards, and woke up two hours later with the pain gone. That doesn't mean it won't come back, seeing as it was raining, it is raining, and it promises to rain more and they say it will turn to snow, but in today, the pain hasn't come back. That was 8 hours ago, and for that I am grateful. |
