I Really Think I Learned Something Important About My Recovery Today
As mentioned I felt the resentment of a guy about my being sick and not bringing food and I thought you dick then realized that was how I was feeling about my sponsor's relapse. Blaming him for getting sick. If I looked in the mirror everyday I might see myself. All week I have carried hurt and resentment like he should always be well and bring me my food. All we are are human. I am better I will make food aqgain he will be beter and walk his path again. I think sandwiches are easier than sponorship or being an SR monitor. Ecept egg peeling.

Well I am cooking freaking eggs for tomorrow. The guys just love egg salad. Serving lettuce and tomato on the side so people can decide. I get back more and learn more than i ever give. The guy who got pissy I am making my assistant. He can walk and carry a bag of food. I am thinking about rice crispsy cookies though I know they not not healthy. Don't want to over irritate these guys. The dogs are always content. People are more difficult.

I was letting my eggs sit and went out to find mt guy and I knew where he would be. Told him he would be point on the food delivery. He just lit up. Talked about where and when to meet and it seemed like his day was made. He just wanted to have purpose again. He even said he was going to shower. It is a small world after all. And belie4ve me a shower woulde do him good. I may make him an egg peeler. Good thing is he is about 6'5 and 240 so we might start dinner survice.

Well its not a big deal. There is a guy who needs to ride his 3 wheeler every day a lot to keep his muscles moving and thought why not hook up a wagon to load food on and start turning it into an organization that feeds itself. Those that want to sit on their asses can but I think a lot want their respect back. I sure lost mine.

Eggs peel easier if they aren't fresh. Also put a bit of veneneger in the water when you boil them. Shock with cold water after you boil for two minutes and let sit with the heat off and the lid on for seven minutes.

There is a great story about people in Hell who are starving because their forks are too long to get their food in their mouths. Than in heaven people were well fed but had the same long forks. Someone asked the question what is the difference and the reply was these folks learned to feed each other.

Well there are 3 of us now. Got It arranged. I cook one bud delivers and the other guy drives the wagon. Got a store donating food and baggs and even drinks. This is pretty fun. I ordered pizza kits and we will expand. Trying to get the local Treatment program to help since I was a regular client. Also am getting a animal vet to give dog check ups. I think we are developing a non-goverment support system. Not anti-government but worked for them 40 years just trying something different. Funny thing my bike freind asked if he could advertize local bussiness by carrying sings off the bike not a bad idea.

really a nice thing. My friend who rides the bike for life asked if a friend of his could join us. Like an unintended movement. They are going to recruit local business to support. We can make a difference. Hardest thing is treatment because they always want to see the insurance we need to work beyound that. Most of these guys have nothing. If I can get this going my net desire is more interaction with the homeless kids and education, one thing I used to do.

I think we are coming up with a plan. Everyone comitts to something even it is their own sobriety. No just sitting on a street with a sign. I think it is love and boots on the ground. I think together we can make it. SR has helped me with this
