Change I must or die I will! There was a time when all I could look for in another person was either how were they going to screw me or how I could take advantage of them for my own self gratification, life was a "B" and paranoia and hatred were my way.

Today I work at finding the good when I start to see the bad, I no longer seek out peoples weaknesses to exploit, but instead I see if I can be of service to them, if they have harmed me and I have no part in it, I seek a way to forgive them and if possible hold out my hand to them. I seek a way to be of service to others rather then to see what I can get from others. Today life is good, not perfect, but good, I no longer walk in fear of others, and when hatred creeps into my thoughts I drive it out by finding a way to at least be accepting and tolerant and if possible understanding & loving.

I am not the same man today I was 3 years ago, and I have my HP to thank for that & AA for showing me the way to my HP.
