Twelve Steps, The Thought Made Me Wretch, Until I Bled To Death.

Twelve Steps, The Thought Made Me Wretch, Until I Bled To Death.

  Yeah, I said it. I’m a recovering addict and I hated 12 Step. Somehow I managed to avoid NA for 15 years of meth addiction, with the exception of a short time when I was 19. I ended up putting myself in a psych ward 6 months before I turned 20 for hurting myself. […]

The Book That Is Big, How Deep Is The Dig

Nothing ever surprises me in recovery anymore. So it does not surprise me that there is a growing trend of sponsoring out of the 12 and 12. Even through it has no precise directions how to work the steps. The 12 and 12 has some good parts and points. For instance step 4 has a […]

Spring has sprung and love was in the air, and the zoo was alive with the ardor of the Bongo as well as the prolific March Hare.  Claire a grandchild of seven Mays was bushy tailed and wide eyed at the wonders of the unnatural urban oasis. The frisky felines that are the Bengal cats […]
