Addiction

I did a lot of damage in my using of alcohol and drugs. My using took me to some dark places that I prefer not to revisit. Toward the end, I was putting myself in danger of a certain death if I didn't stop using. God inspired me to reach out to NA to stop my insanity. I am truly grateful for the life I have today, a life which would not be possible without NA.
Before I began drug use, I was introduced to AA. I was sent to a recovery house from a mental health agency. The things I heard there came back to me at my moment of crisis. I am also grateful to AA for providing the beginning of my journey to recovery.

Reading, writing, exercising, i.e. running, hiking, biking, swimming, weightlifting, bowling, and bicycling. I also enjoy nature and listening to a wide variety of music, from classical to rock, blues and country.

The lifestyle associated with actively using alcohol and drugs. Selfish people, liars, cheats, and thieves.

John Lescroart, John Grisham, Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb, Tom Clancy, Lisa Scottoline and Robert Ludlum are among some of my favorite authors to read.
