After may years of being a hopless dope fiend, I am now a dopeless hope fiend.  In my many one days at a time my life has had many ups and downs, great times and god awful times. Right now I am struggling with health issues and financial devastation. One would think after 16 years of recovery it would be easy street, the sweat life etc, the reality is life is about choices. I did not choose all this for my self however, what I have come to belive is through the process there are many lessons and I know right through the core of my being as these doors close others will open and the ONLY thing that will not allow me to learn and grow is FEAR so as they say ..FEAR is F*** Everything And Run or.. Face Everything And Recover! I know what my choice is .. do you know what yours is?... Aho

These are some of the little pearls that I keep in my tool bag of recovery.

 

Always remember to shake the hand of the new person at meetings ........They maybe your next sponsor !

 

Say what you mean ..Mean what you say...but don't say it mean!

 

Speak from the heart not from the head ..What you have to say may save some ones life!

 

An addicts head is like a bad neighborhood never go in there alone..

 

No matter how far down hole you've gone to hit your bottom it only takes twelve steps to get out!
