*ring ring*
the first bell is the bell of mindfulness , calling to me and you .
It says stop what am i doing right now , take some breaths , feel my body am i holding it tight and tense , relax , calm down life is a journey and not a destination , make the journey as glorious as possible .
the second bell is the freedom bell
and i'm ringing it for you to let you know freedom from drink and drugs is available to you , come and hear us calling out to you 
Why this sudden outburst of ringing and dinging and donging i hear you ask ??
Well today is 3 years since the moment i looked at myself , someone i though of as a nice fumbling alcoholic who didn't want to harm anyone and i saw the selfish drink addict , using the death of his gran as an excuse to drink his magic juice for a few days , not be there for his family and go on a chemical reprieve from life . i didn't like that guy ..
He aint around much anymore , sometimes the attitudes come back , so i keep tabs on it , i guide myself like a good parent to my own self . I keep my self safe, secure and on the right track insofar as i can discern it .
3 years has been great and i've achieved quite a bit , new jobs , loving partner , healthy bank balance .
There is a whole lot further to travel though , both pain and laughter to deal with , up's and down's , i don't run and hide anymore from any of it , sometimes it hurts and is painful . By taking the pain and keeping on i think i've achieved some growth , certainly is a big motivator !
when i look up the sky is still blue and the birds still sing whatever might be happening in my own life .
Lets keep on all of you , on this journey to wherever , howsoever you get there ,
Still learning , still loving , still laughing and glory in the wonder of it all here ,
Keep on
Bestwishes, m
