FAMILY – The Weekend Thought One of the most important things in my life is family, yet sometimes I wonder why. As I start a new week, the thought of family and relationships is foremost in my mind. Funny, I’m reminded, you can pick your friends, and you can’t pick your family. In these thoughts, I must remember the father I was while in active addiction. I loved my kids, but did not love myself. I honestly did the best I could as a father, but I will never win the father of t... Read More

Live and Let Live A good reminder for me. I started on the journey to get a life back that had fullness, happiness, hope and serenity. I worked very hard at that process, have had a spiritual awakening, and benefited from the advice of professionals and peers who had walked before me. I wanted what I perceived many to have, a life filled with hope and serenity. A life in which I found my purpose; a life with purpose. My higher power has been very good to me, I am blessed. I am well... Read More
