hello Mike and everyone else,
I do apologize for my lack of involvement, but I have very busy in my little recovery world. I am now attending Day Treatment, an outpatient program, 4.5hr/day 5x week, hooray for me. I also have acquired a small apartment and am in the process of getting some of my belongs back.
I am still having some difficulty with the people who aren't "really" striving for recovery. To much B.S., pink clouds, misbeliefs and general disfunction. But as I slowly learn that they are people in need of help and support more than I do, I find myself growing in ways I was not anticipating, good for me!
As to my avatar, it to is a .gif (has movement), maybe. At least it did when I first found it, sometimes the sights allow .gif's sometimes only jpeg or bitmap's. I had to go look in my files for those extension names and sure enough I have both moving and non-moving gif's
I.T., who'd a thought life would become so over run with initials and acronyms...(Geo. Orwell?)
I hope everybody is doing so much more than just maintaining their sobriety. It's a big beautiful world and you'll never see it all sittin on your butte.
Regards,
Larrylive
Tho' I am cut Iam not slain, so I shall lie down and bleed a bit and rise again to fight another day.
Hey Larry,Good to hear from you..Yes I am very active with NA /Naranon and life in general also...It is a blessing as long as I also concentrate on "recovery at home"... Excellent work on your process!!I think I told you my 24 yr old is in the same scenario,5x per week ,dual diagnosis program,staying clean of dope and moving forward.He is also getting 'some things" back, a relationship with a girl,and putting some responsible time together..One day at a time we'll see how it rolls.. Yeah when we 'lose our expectations of what we think others should be doing and stop taking their inventory our focus clears up and we get a chance to go inside ourselves. a little deeper....You sound up and pumped!,good for you man,we can't get back where we were but we can sure blaze forward "in a new way of life" peace
today is the next step in the journey......paw
Thanx for sharing
