It is my history but it does not have to be my legacy. I am not who I was. I have asked God to help me change, help me put the past behind me, and help me move forward as someone who is healed. I can be the one to break the chains, the bondage of my past, and erase the heritage of pain and anger passed on through generations. I can be the one to change my reactions that were based on hurt,…

via Drinking Dreams

I think what triggered my latest drinking dream, which I had last night, was an article I read  about John Prine, a musical icon and hero, whose songs I had cut my teeth on in the 70’s as an impressionable young teenager. I loved him so and I had been listening to YouTube videos and reading articles every day since his passing on April 7, 2020. The memories of singing along to his songs, “Illegal…

Being under self-quarantine has given me some much needed down-time, and as I  wander through my house I keep noticing things I haven’t noticed in a while, an old tin that upon opening, divulged a small pile of recipes, half -finished craft projects begging for attention,  lots of books I’ve been meaning to read, and a few old notebooks that when opened, take me on journeys to the past in the…

Just for today, drop out of the race. Take it easy, relax, sip some tea, feel the sunshine. Today, you do not have to be anything or do anything to prove your worth. Who you are at this moment is all that you are. You are not your past, nor your future. Who knows what lies in your future, but that is not your today. You may have hopes and dreams, but the only way to get there is through today.…

Yes, we have to accept the past, as we cannot change it. But we can study it for wisdom, look into it for truth, examine it for understanding. Look at the past with open eyes. Try to see all the sides, all the motivations of yourself and others. Ask yourself if there were other paths that could have been taken. And then, ask yourself where you would be now if you’d taken a different path. Who…

Don’t listen to all the negative self-talk stirred up by the chaos. Go deeper. When things get difficult or don’t go your way, when things take a turn for the worse, or life hands you an unpleasant surprise…

Pause. Reflect. Go deeper.

Reach into your soul for a truer, more genuine, more loving, more compassionate response.

Pause. Reflect. Go deeper.

There is depth, underneath the surface, unfamili…

Losing…

I just responded to a post from a friend who lost two people to addiction this week. My response was heartfelt and taken from my own experience. This is what I said, “I have to remember this is a feelings disease and grief can take us out, too. Talk, share, cry. Pray. Repeat.

TALK.

SHARE .

CRY.

PRAY.

REPEAT.

Ive done a lot of crying, talking, sharing and praying over the years for many friends…

We walk into the rooms with our inner children showing peeking out in pain and suffering… Scared, lost, vulnerable, sad… crushed into submission. Broken-spirited. At the jumping off place where the choice is finally just living or dying. Our act no longer serves us. We want to find a way out, a new way of living, we want to break out and become free, scared of the pain but willing to risk it for a…

Dirty Words in Recovery

Acceptance and expectations–two dirty words we hear a lot in the rooms of recovery. Both embody concepts most of us are quite uncomfortable with. We don’t want to accept the way things are, instead we want things to be the way we think they should be. And when we are told to lower our expectations or even have no expectations of others we squirm with the idea that people may not behave the way we…

There were times in our lives when we knew we were touched by an unseen hand, when we knew we were saved by something beyond ourselves, when we recognized a force greater than ourselves that had us in its loving embrace.

There were times when we were spared tragedies, consequences, or what we thought were our just rewards, and then there were times when we were just grateful to be alive.

There…

This is an article originally published in 2012, by Maria Mooney. With her permission I am posting it again because it deserves another reading. She discusses the connection between addiction and spirituality so well. Her bio is posted below her article. Thank you Maria, for your wonderful insights.
