(((Kevin))) Forgive them and yourself and remember they are struggling spiritual beings just like you..
The solution for your feelings is to get out of self and go help another alcoholic/addict.. It works....I guarantee it. Everything is already OK...
We love you bunches Kevin and we didn't forget..

Grateful that I know at a molecular level that there is a spiritual solution for all of my problems...

Nogard (I don't feel I can call you Kevin) yet. I always look for your posts because they selfishly make me feel better. I just wanted you to know you've made a difference in this cowgirl's life.

Grateful that (with the help of an otc sleep aid) I was finally able to get some sleep last nite after four days of hardly any sleep at all.

Grateful that my van will be fixed tomorrow and I'll finally be able to get out and look for work without having to walk everywhere.

Grateful for my friends here and in AA who love me no matter what.

Sometimes I get tired of the lessons... I wonder will it always be this way.....
I am pretty sure it will be so I try to practice the least resistance possible...
One foot in front of the other no matter what.

funny you should mention this Lbad!

I was reflecting on the concept of 'resist nothing' on my way to work this morning. And how It works! If I don't struggle or try to enforce my will into situations, things just seem to flow and work out....

grateful for that.

Rusty, I did finally cancel my subscription.
