It has been ages since I last blogged.  So much has happened.  LIFE!

I started a course a couple of weeks ago. The course is to help deal with barriers to employment, and is funded by the Ministry (CANADIAN) . Almost everyone there is in Recovery for Drugs and or Alcohol addiction.  My addiction is with people, generally so, it makes things a bit different.  But Addiction is  Addiction.  And the Steps toward Recovery are the same. 

Lots of Pain. Dealing with the PAST. Going through childhood issues, learned behavior, and other mal-adaptive ways of living.  Sometimes I cannot seem to stop crying… or want to “fix” to make the pain go away.  But, my desire is to learn COPING skills that are Positive… so that I may, in turn, reach out and help others.

Last week, the first week of Class.. my Bad cold turned into Laryngitis.  I take after my mother, and can be quite loquacious.  So, the class laughed (with) at me..  I told God… Ok… I can’t talk… So what am I supposed to do…

And He said to me: “SHUT-UP and listen!”  Of course He did not say Shut-Up.. that was just to get the point across.  Talk Less Listen More…Live the Model!

On my Way!
