Hello everyone! Been MIA for a minute as life been really bangin away here in our family and areas around us.. God is good and remains faithful as we continue to put our trust in our Higher Power,no matter what comes our way.... Today,my 63rd birthday,I was able to get rollin by taking 4 day weekend from my job(much strife there) and staying in bed till 9:00a.m.(eyes remain open from 7:00 a.m. on ,think thats part of my gowing process??) anyway was able to get to a 12:00 oclock new meeting 'LIVE OR DIE" that I usually can't attend because of work.What a blessing ,only 6 addicts showed up and we were all able to share our recoveries.I was able to free myself and take part in my own recovery and bring out some of the pain from the last few weeks that we have been facing.Spiritually refreshened and at peace in my heart I move forward in this blessed day afforded me through the God of my understanding.Partying continues tonight as my kids and their significnt others come over for dinner ,cake,love and laughs..Tomorrow,a speaker jam(MENS RAP) from 2-6 while my 22 year old daughters baby shower occurs and then after church Sunday my wife and I going overnite to Monticello New York for some down time and R/R... How the years of staying in the solution have changed my life and working our process a day at a time,helps me keep pluggin along,looking forward to another day of"life"and being so grateful for all God has allowed me.Join me in a spiritual relation of sharing my birthday with you..WE do this together and I;ll have a piece of cake and a hug for you... Welcome to all newcomers or those just coming back,there is another life after the 'war" is over.one better than you have ever known,the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous can show you a new way to live,a day at a time!! peace

Life is good and it is trully a blessing to enjoy change. Thanks again for your post. I do look forward to your messages. Fred
Happy Birthday Mike and thanks so much from the gut shares.
I'm approaching 50, whodduh thunk didn't think i'd make 40 and wouldn't have if not for some clean time these years, much blessed by Gods grace is all i can say.
We all have a mission we may not know what that is but along the way you find out, I've felt in the last 5 years( yes coming up on 5th sobriety birthday) that i had a purpose to help save one soul and I have, maybe one other I dont know about but one for sure helped talk him into giving the 12 step program a chance and he just passed his 3rd birthday.
Life is good and getting better but tougher on the body but we can get help if, when we ask.
