Scars That Don't Heal

I learned with every 12 Step group that I've participated in that I am powerless... that I need to surrender all control. I don't entirely agree with that. And every time I say that at a meeting. The eyebrows raise and I go on to explain myself. By the time I finish explaining many agree with me. There is one thing that I have total control over is my word. If I say something, I should stick to it. If I make a commitment to a project then I need to follow it through. The words I speak can eit… Continue

everything happens for a reason

The most beautiful people (I have known) are those who have known defeat, suffering, struggles, and loss, but have found their way OUT of the depths by the grace of God! These people have an appreciation, sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep, loving concern for everyone and everything. Beautiful people (like you) are not born that way, but are formed that way by the POTTER”S loving Hand. Continue

Family Disease A Closer Look

families where alcohol or drug addiction is present are emotionally and sometimes physically painful to live in. All members of a family where alcohol or drug addiction is present in the family system are traumatized to varying degrees by the addiction and the extreme emotional, psychological and behavioral swings which characterize the family system when addiction is present. This is true no matter if it is a parent, teen or grandparent that is abusing drugs and alcohol in the family system. Re… Continue

Taliban And Heroine

As source of 92% of the world's heroin, Afghanistan's opium farmers are easily blamed for the ready availability of the drug on the streets of Europe and Asia (most heroin in the U.S. still comes from opium crops in Latin America). But Afghans have historically seen themselves as producers of opium, not consumers, citing a Koranic loophole that prohibits intoxicants but fails to proscribe their production. But in growing numbers, Afghans are succumbing to the dangers of their nation's largest c… Continue

Finding The Child Within

One thing that I believe happens to every child that is affected by alcoholism, drug addiction, or abuse is that they grow up way to fast. No longer able to feel like a child or to think like a child. I personally, shut down my emotions because they weren't necessary for my survival at that time. Years later when my addiction had run its course and I tried to regain my life back, it became apparent that I needed to think like a child. I needed to find those feelings that I shut down a long time… Continue

Finding Forgiveness

Recently on a message board I shared my experience with forgiveness. The feedback I received from it was extraordinary. Then I reread what I had written and what I thought wasn’t that big of a deal. But it was. For some unknown reason my Higher Power has protected me and kept me here for a reason. I’m not sure why but I’ll keep going on this journey looking for the answer. Below is my response to forgiveness. **************************************************** On drunken nights my mouth broug… Continue

Sick and tired...

There is a lot of different reasons why we quit drinking. But the consequences of why we quit usually boil down to trying to save a marriage or to stay out of jail. That is what I believe are our ulterior motives. The fact is we quit drinking for only one reason – we’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. Below is a poem I wrote about this subject and a video I just recently created for it. Hope you like the poem and the video. ********************* I’m Tired I’m tired of being mis… Continue

Thank God for my Higher Power

Alcohol and Drug Abuse From Parent To Teen

Experimentation with alcohol and drugs during adolescence is common. Unfortunately, teenagers often don't see the link between their actions today and the consequences tomorrow. They also have a tendency to feel indestructible and immune to the problems that others experience. Using alcohol and tobacco at a young age has negative health effects. While some teens will experiment and stop, or continue to use occasionally, without significant problems. Others will develop a dependency, moving on t… Continue

Only Two Emotions

As spiritual beings one emotion we need to live by is love. All good things come from love. Just as all good comes from love, everything that is bad comes from its opposite. And the opposite of love is not hate but rather fear. Love gives us trust, honesty, respect, companionship and ultimately peace. While fear gives us resentments, anger, hate and many other negative thoughts. And while we come to believe that there are only two emotions love and its opposite fear, we also learn that the ulti… Continue

Two More Children Die Because OF Addiction

Queens, NY–Robert Ogle told his parents, ‘You worry too much,’ before walking out the door to attend a party Sunday evening.
