Pretty much everything from classical, to country to Rock.

Forest Gump, Freedom Writers, Titanic, Requiem for a dream, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, The Motorcycle Diaries, Shall We Dance, and many many more.

The recovery related book titled "70 X 7," it is a good book. A little heavy on the organized religion for my taste, but still a good book.Just read the book "Broken", for all its differences from my life, it still showed me the similarities we all share in the disease of addiction. Also just finished reading "Clapton" The Autobiography, it too is a good book, a lot of things we can relate to, plus a lot of Rock and Roll history, or for us more experienced folks, memories.

Welding,making metal art. woodworking, writing Poetry.

After 37+ years of apparently trying to fill a void with chemicals, they stopped working,(as if they ever really did work) decided it was time to try quitting. That was in the Fall of 2005, I knew it was going to be hard, but being as tough and terminally unique as I thought I was, didn't expect it to be quite so horrifying and debilitating. I have decided to look at being clean as a benefit of recovery, rather than the reason and the goal for my being in recovery. My new reason is really the only reason, to carry the message to the addict who still suffers. I've finally managed to work all the steps, didn't think that I'd ever do it.Everything in its own season, right? Still have some amends left to make, which is an ongoing process.One of the many things I've learned is that clean time doesn't equal recovery, it's one of the requirements though. After over two years in the program I still don't have a lot of clean time. I do however have the fellowship, some peace of mind, a lot of helpful suggestions, and some true friends who want nothing but my friendship. Thank God for, Bill W, Dr. Bob, Jimmy K, the programs of NA, and AA, and the many people they've brought into my life.

Music,Positive people, Serenity, Good books, Riding my Harley, cooking, Narcotics Anonymous, Travel, Whitewater rafting, Good movies, Fellowship, Fishing, Hunting, conventions, conventions, and more conventions.

Negative people, Chaos, Isolation, pity parties, detoxification/withdrawal, which is one more reason to never use again. arrogant people, fake people.

Beginning Today (Poem)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----

Beginning today,
you'll no longer need to worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only you can change by choosing to do so.
Beginning today you will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for you to make the most of it.
But remember, you cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making
the most of today.
Beginning today, look in the mirror and see a person worthy of respect
and admiration.
Start seeing the capable person looking back at you. That person is
someone who needs your time and is worth getting to know better.
Beginning today, cherish each moment of your life. Value this gift
bestowed upon you in this world and be willing to unselfishly share
this gift with others.
This gift will enhance the lives of everyone you grace your presence
upon.
Beginning today, take a moment to step off the beaten path and to revel
in the mysteries of life you encounter, now and throughout today.
Live in the question.

Recognize your challenges and face them with the courage and
determination you harbor.
Overcome whatever barriers that may be hindering your desire and quest
for growth and self-improvement.
Beginning today take life one day at a time, one-step at a time. One-second at a time, if necessary.
Do not allow discouragement to taint your new positive
self-image, your desire to succeed, or your capacity to love.
Beginning today walk with renewed faith, marvel in human kindness.
Reach toward all of life's precious endeavors.
Regardless of what has gone on before, you must believe there is hope.
Hope for a brighter and better future.
Beginning today, allow yourself to open your mind and your heart.
Welcome your new experiences and meet new people. Give and then you shall receive.
Expect change. For change IS progress.
But, do not expect perfection from yourself nor anyone else: perfection
does not exist in this imperfect world.
Applaud your attempt to overcome human errors.
Beginning today you are responsible for your own happiness.
Be willing to do the things that promote this happiness. . .
Take time to admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to your
listen to your favorite music, soak in a bubble bath, call an old friend.
spend time with your loved ones . . .
Most pleasures can be found in the simplest of gestures.
Beginning today, learn something new; try something different; Savor all
the various flavors life has to offer. See things in a different light.
Change what you can and let the rest go.
Strive to become the best person you can possibly be. Learn to trust in
yourself.
Begin with today ... then make it every day...

Greetings from Spokane! I 1st tried to sober up at the Rivercrest Hospital in Lewiston in 1992 for a 28 day stay. I remember the old Alano Club in Clarkston too. There was a sign in the bathroom "help keep your club clean" And someone wrote next to it "my 'club' is the cleanest part of me" Still one of the most funniest things I have ever read in a bathroom. Well, best of luck and glad your back on the right path. Jeff

Thanks for your comments - it is nice to know that others feel the same way at time. Don't get me wrong - I'm not happy that others experience the same sadness and feelings of worthlessness that I do. I guess it's just nice to know that others feel it too - I guess it makes me feel a little more normal - whatever that is. :)

Hi Bob, I was reading one of your comments and I too relapsed after going to a metting. I could't wait for the metting to be over mine was plan. so I wasnt going to tell the group what I THought of doing because I knew they were going to stop me and I had already made that decision to het loaded. To be honest I thought I could check out for a day maybe two but the truth was It took me about 6 days to stop and surrender then it took about 14 days before I showed up at a metting. Thanks for the reminder have a great day.
