We find all the identification we need as we learn to understand and speak the language of empathy. To understand this special language, we listen with our hearts. The language of empathy uses few words; it feels more than it speaks. It doesn't preach or lecture - it listens. It can reach out and touch the spirit of another addict without a single spoken word. ~NA Just for Today
Today I am grateful...
Today I am grateful...
- for last night's dinner and fellowship
- that I got four chips this weekend!
- that I haven't seen a pay toilet in years
- for those who relapse and make it back, so I don't have to do the research myself
- that I am often repelled by what fascinates the general public
- for the lives I touch and the lives that touch mt
Enlightenment is understanding that there is nowhere to go, nothing to do, and nobody you have to be except exactly who you’re being right now. ~Conversations with God

Scott, thanks for being at my morning meeting in Virginia. Your birthday inspired others.
Carry one of those chips with you when you go places. You never know...it may give you access to a pay toilet in case you encounter one somewhere.
It's a gray, overcast day here; a nice day for reflection and prayer, and a good day to go nowhere except meetings.
Best wishes to all!
you're my friend. i love you.
Pay toilets.
At Lambda.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
Ummmm, just a quick question re:pay toilets...do they pay me or do I pay them???
Have a good one Scott!
I used to crawl under the door of pay toilets. That sounds pretty unbelievable, doesn't it? But it is true.
I'm so happy that you got to have a great celebration for your birthday darlin'.
I too, remember crawling under pay toilets.
sorry your birthday card/present is late. when can i give it to you? will you be at the gratitude meeting and dinner on thanksgiving?
I was one of those, who lapsed and made it back again and again...but ive been sober 10-11 years ..and if i can so can others...but it was only through the fellowship and their committment to loving me..I dont know any other way to do it..So for today, I am grateful for your words that remind me...Happy birthday Scott
