The person you were will use again. That is why you must "smash all your old ideas" so that the new you is a member of the program, not the person you were. The person you were was a practicing alcoholic. The person you are is not. ~Pocket Sponsor
Today I am grateful...
- for a safe and productive day yesterday
- for an opportunity today to work with a photographer in preparation for his first gallery show
- that God gave me talents with which I can earn a living
- for a loving Higher Power that sustains my life and my future, and doesn't let me dwell in the past
- that I have been fairly well removed from insanity, the remaining stuff I have offered to the care of a power greater than me
My responsibility in recovery is for my life. I cannot change other people, events or relationships -- I can only change me. I am not God. Each time I forget this fact, I risk another hurt. ~Fr.Leo

oooooooooooo! Do tell! What God given talents are you making a living with? Your paintings? When are you going to do a show??? I hope I'm invited!
P.S. Where did Matt v 2.0's blog go???
Lex, If I ever have a show you will be invited! Today I used my knowledge of picture framing and hanging artwork to use for a friend photographer as he gets ready for his first gallery showing.
Not at liberty to say about Matt.
Thanks for so many thoughts. I needed to read each of them.
Just wanted to say I love you.
