I need help.  I have a friend who is a recovering alcoholic/heroin addict.  He is an awesome person.  He is living with his dad who I believe is mentally ill.  He is about to be homeless again.  He is on methadone now.  He is going to AA meetings and has faith in God.  I am very concerned for his health.  He is 37 years old.  He has no support system.  The only friend he can stay with uses.  He wants to work on a farm or ranch.  He needs someone to take him in and help him get on his feet.  He really needs love and support in a clean environment.  He has no money.  I am looking for someone who feels God is speaking to their heart and wants to reach out and do something wonderful for someone.  I will get him there if you can have him.  Please let me know.  Also, if you have any suggestions of resources or programs that can help him get on his feet I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.  Thank you!

So I went to a Christmas party tonight.  Drank punch...no booze.  Dropped my daughter off at a friends and headed home...then "that" thought pops in my head...I think...maybe just a big Sierra Nevada.  Tonight...what stopped me was that I have 30 days tomorrow and I get a chip!  This was the thought that killed my craving...what a wonderful thing AA is.  If I didn't have it I would have drank that tall beer...then drove back for a couple more because you know that wouldn't be enough.  I would then have woken up feeling terribley dissappointed with myself...then the depression would set in. Not to mention the darn hangover.   A place I have been hundreds of thousands of times before.  This is what they mean by "one day at a time".  These moments when we make a better choice than the crazy one we would have chosen before AA.  I'm glad you are all here...this was the first place I wanted to go.  I am not alone anymore!  Sweet dreams!

The human mind is constantly racing backwards and forwards — anything to keep from being still and dealing with the moment. It’s our job to tame our brains, to learn that whatever is happening right now is exactly what we need. Today, practice simply allowing the now. Imagine you asked for whatever or whomever is in front of you. Make this moment your friend, not your enemy, and watch as dramatic shifts occur.
