Amen to that, RZ. I do see that I do have a future and it is certainly going to be better than the past.

Too bad that I don't have more freedom at the moment to do what I really like. Maybe something is telling me something to stay where I'm at for the moment and pause before doing something drastic. I don't know. That's why I'm here.

If anything, when things sort themselves out, I'd like to be a counselor. Just to be someone who has been through it and survived and can be a comfort to those that need comforted.

xxoo's all.

Yours in Recovery, Mark B.

the freedom will come mark...

for me, it was the freedom from the bondage of self... no easy task... still at times.. a piece of work in that progress...

a counselor is a wonderful thing... i know a few... they all say its very rewarding, and they all also say it takes a special person...

one cant take the job home, or let anyone rent free space in the head...

a few didnt make it... i'm not being a bummer... just keeping the reality factor...

al always mark, good wishes...

ohoh, Hello Guests!...

Mark..

I have a great amount of respect for you..the way you quietly

inspire us with your consistency in sharing the basics of recovery.

Sounds like your coming up on a transition of some sort.

Trust HP..I betcha a good thing is coming to you!

Love,

IO

It will come eventually. Until then it's One Day At A Time. I can't rush it so might as well put that time to good use. And the more I'm alone the more I'm inside of my own head. I really don't like being alone like that without an outlet for my thoughts and feelings.

And, just like getting back into Recovery, I have no idea on how to start. I'd like to take some courses online to get my feet wet (yes, ONLY the feet...since it's just an expression ). I certainly can communicate and relate. I just need some Good Orderly Direction in my life for once.

I will write more later.

Yours in Recovery, Mark B.
