Conversations about life

Inspiration, hope and
encouragement in recovery.

In 1977 I was beaten and broken as a human being from the lashings of alcoholism. I began a new life of transformation and change. The writings on this site are the revelations and reflections of my recovery and spiritual journey. (Sobriety date 02/02/1977)

WRITINGS and POEMS from RECOVERY

— AWAKENINGS.

The more I learn about my inner self the more I understood life and others. The world is opening up for me or perhaps I am unfolding to the world, like a bud blossoming. I yearn and seek for knowledge which only comes from searching within myself for the truth of who I am.

— LOSS and GRIEF.

“From my first real experiences came loss, and so it has been throughout my sobriety. Out of each realization of what the reality of me is, as opposed to what I have imagined or fancied I am, I have felt a great sense of self-loss. I have mourned my passing or death and from within me, I HAVE CONTINUED TO GAIN in experience, faith and knowledge of my limitations”.

— POEMS.

AS USUAL...   THEN

I had another sleepless night as usual. I thought about my life and loss - as usual. In and out those years of fears, I fight to hold back sudden tears - as usual. Got out a book and read the end - as usual. Thought, I m going round the bend - as usual. I had another sleepless night and morning came and I dragged myself to work again - as usual.
