After four consecutive A.A meetings (i.d.) a lot of thoughts of the sixties and seventies have been flooding back.
In those days my life revolved around liquor, lust, and football while living in a blame fortified sort of netherworld. All so crazy! The experience has been somewhat cathartic and the meetings are helping me.
Off to a Big Book meeting..................

Sounds a lot like my 60's & 70's Murch. Well, except for the football. Yes, indeed - a crazy netherworld. Glad the meetings are helping you!

Opivotal

Enjoy your meeting Murchovski.

Hi Hevyn.
Checked out Homeboy Industries and very impressed.
Do they run a steps program?
Got kind of attached to my tatoos though after 54 years. but taking one day at a time.

Hi. I used to act on my old thoughts and habits and had too many "oh I did it again" mornings. I kicked and resisted the important word CHANGE Until I let go of my insane thinking. Some years later it's great to feel comfortable in my own skin and not having the thought of drinking for years. BE WELL

Hevyn

Murch, I have a friend who works as a Case Manager there - they do have substance abuse counseling, not sure what it entails. It's partly gang intervention - teaching life skills, anger management - it serves as a family for those who have no one, or whose parents are drug addicts. The tats they remove are mainly the gang related ones - I'm sure yours are lovely and tasteful, Murch.

Bubovski

Not really tasteful and lovely but not really sick either.
Got them when I was round 15.
Cheers Murcho. day 13alf and its not going to be 'unlucky'.

Old thoughts are just that, old, we don't have to re-live or act on them, they fade in tempo and power as we grow and heal
