Happly married for 15 years. Have 3 children. Two in collage and one in middle school. This is my second time around and feel truly blessed to have made it back.


Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The Touch of the Master's Hand
It was battered and scarred,
And the auctioneer thought it
Hardly worth his while
To waste his time on the old violin,
But he held it up with a smile.
"What am I bid, good people", he cried,
"Who starts the bidding for me?"
"One dollar, one dollar, Do I hear two?"
"Two dollars, who makes it three?"
"Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three",
But, No,
From the room far back a grey haired man
Came forward and picked up the bow,
Then wiping the dust from the old violin
And tightening up the strings,
He played a melody, pure and sweet,
As sweet as the angel sings.
The music ceased and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low,
Said "What now am I bid for this old violin?"
As he held it aloft with its' bow.
"One thousand, one thousand, Do I hear two?"
"Two thousand, Who makes it three?"
"Three thousand once, three thousand twice,
Going and gone", said he.
The audience cheered,
But some of them cried,
"We just don't understand."
"What changed its' worth?"
Swift came the reply.
"The Touch of the Masters Hand."
And many a man with life out of tune,
All battered with bourbon and gin,
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd
Much like that old violin.
A mess of pottage, a glass of wine,
A game and he travels on.
He is going once, he is going twice,
He is going and almost gone.
But the Master comes,
And the foolish crowd never can quite understand,
The worth of a soul and the change that is wrought
By the Touch of the Master's Hand.

Hi Johnny!!, I notice you still come here, thank goodness. I see your shout out each time I come in and it is a really good feeling to know some things don't change so much, ya know? I am still so amazed at how much my life has changed in the short time I've been clean! I finally did what what I was told to do, got a sponsor, go to 5 meetings a week and don't use. Life is no longer a struggle. I have women friends who I can depend on , my kids are coming around more and I don't have so many negative thoughts these days. yes life is good. I hope you are too~

The proof of spiritual maturity is not how 'pure' you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace...Philip Yancy

It's been awhile since I did this. This site and the people I've met here are a big part of my recovery. I want to thank you all. It is still amazing to me to wake-up not feeling dope-sick.
Not to have the obsession or desire to use.
