Todays message shared earlier with me so pertinent! says 'SOME OF THE CHOICES WE MADE AFFECT SOME OF THE CHOICES WE COULD HAVE MADE FOR THE FUTURE!So true,(felonys,aids,family wreckage,physical disabilities,brain damage,etc)But the hope shot , I firmly believe God is still directing the path and when one thing shuts down another thing opens up.Through the spiritual principles of Narcotics Anonymous,our faith and trust in a Higher Power and some daily work we can still be everything our God intended for us to be.Our agenda maybe be totally out of context with what our HP's is for us?..Got to step back and let it happen,certainly takes work from this addict to get out of the way but today at least I have a shot at it!! Have a blessed and productive day!

Great post---(hope shot). When I begin to lose hope I am on a terrible path and it is only the God of my understanding that keeps me from sliding into the deep end of the depression pool. It's all in the steps...everything I need to keep on keepin' on, and have at least a reasonably good time while I'm at it.
