Hi Jenni,

I'm holding on to my hat as tight as tight can be... it is great to see your
spirits a little bit lighter... if that's due to the NA meetings then maybe
you should just keep going... for now at least. But whatever you decide to
do... do it gently and be kind to yourself.

Without being a sycophant, if the 'Pencil full of Lead' lyrics brought a

more likely ,whattszname is advertising for that new age bookstore in hollywood ca.
on the chance someone will come to hear him in north america.
but again as some of us who lived in temple have witnessed , many will grasp at straws for acclaim.
sorry to be bitter , i am reacting to the decibel level in this shop .

Great lyrics,Vince, and it is an interesting song.I'm forever reading
Buddhist themes into song lyrics ,which has gotta be a 'healthy'
thing?!..Even Robbie Williams is singing about the "Bodhi Tree" in his
latest 'charter'.Wonder if he realizes its significance?

Lyrics from 'Pencil full of Lead' by Paolo Nutini
============================== ====

I got a sheet for my bed,
And a pillow for my head
I got a pencil full of lead,
And some water for my throat
I've got buttons for my coat; and sails on my boat
So much more than I needed before
I got money in the meter and a two bar heater

I think it's a tough one to balance and it's also something that evolved as you move through you recovery.
I kind of pop my toe on the water but often get freaked out and go back into my safe little world but I'm realzing it's not so safe in there because restlessness is also a trigger.

Thats Right,Man!-Whats the point in not telling the Truth!! I always
tell the Truth!! You'd only be lying to yourself and thats the worst
and most damaging sort of lie.The whole point of our discussions here
(for me) is to 'compare notes' and hopefully make some sense of the
mess we got ourselves into and hopefully to the benefit of others with

..Too True,John!! Its very important to keep the Right company and its
very reflective of the person you are.
..Having said that,I personally would be the first to admit that I'm
'insular' and 'anti-social' (even,at worst).Thats just me,and I dont
see it changing anytime soon,for the simple reason-I've grown to like

I just wanted to make a point that I feel is really helpful when your an recovering addict.
Surrounding your self with good people, clean people who care about your best interests and who aren't corrupt. Because of my years of drug addiction I had most of my closest and oldest friends die, and as anyone who's been through that will know making new friendships after that is hard.
