(((Family))) a BIG hug to you all.
This weeks topic is, What "experience , strength , and hope" would you offer
someone about working to have a healthy relationship ?
When I cam into recovery I had no experience at healthy relationships.
Most of that had to do with the part I played in the relationship
in being self-centered and self seeking.
The first healthy relationship that I had in recovery was with my sponsdor.
This was a safe and healthy place to begin practicing spiritual principles,
new attitudes and behaviors. From this relationship and the fruits that have
developed I could take what I learned here into other relationships.
However in early recovery I was on a mission of drama and pain
for my first 7 years. I was in so much pain from one relationship
after another and acting out on sex that I wanted to kill myself.
I didnt want to use, I wanted to take myself out.
I became willing to ask for help, My sponsor and other men who had been
through what I was going through were a God send to me.
The say one good thing about a kick in the ass is you have to go forward,
I became willing to take direction,
and abstained from relationships and sex one day at a time.
I learned how not to hurt myself,
It was difficult in the beginning.
I learned it was more important to be the right person,
than to meet the right person....
one day lead into another, days turned into weeks,
weeks into months and about 18 months down the road
God put someone in my life when I wasnt looking
she was an "earthling, normie" that lived in my apartment building.
We began dating,
I was scared, I called up my sponsor
to tell him that I didnt want to end up in the same place that I
always did in relationships.
He told me , If you want to stop getting the things that you always
got, then you have to stop doing the things you always did.
This phone call was the begin of my first healthy relationship in recovery.
He told me, STOP, going out on one date, taking them to dinner and having
sex. Build a relationship on the principles you have learned in the program
Honesty, acceptance, support, trust, find common interests.
WOW that was a deep concept, what do you like to do :)
Movies, walks in the park, music, concerts etc.
A day at a time I remember the first time that I kissed Laurie,
It was the first time in 10 years clean that I kissed someone that I liked (DEEP)
I have assumed many positions in these 10 years but never gave myself the opportunity
to like the person, I was out to get what I wanted, I was a taker, a robber.
The bud of a rose will not live off of the stem very long,
The stem nourishes the flower and bloom.
There is no such thing as casual sex, that is a lie,
sex is an intimate part of certain relationships.

My relationship with my wife is not perfect, we have disagreements
and have had our trials and tribulations, BUT we have persevered
through them because the love that we have for each other.
One difficult time for us was when we wanted to start a family
and we couldn't, after many tests and procedures the doctors told us we
would not be able to do this naturally and we would need help from medicine.
This was the beginning of a rollercoaster ride  of 10 intrauterine
inseminations, 3 Invitro- fertilizations, a miscarriage. This ALL cause
stress, anxiety, pressure, fear, anger and it was tough on the relationship.
On my birthday July 7 2004 my wife went into labor with my son Andrew
who has been a blessing and a gift.  I can't imagine life without my wife 
and my son. I was doing A LOT of travelling, every
other week from Labor Day 2006 through Thanksgiving, I showed my wife my
travel calendar and because of my heavy travel and our desire to have
another child we planned to do another round of Invitro- fertilizations in
January. As God saw fit, my wife got pregnant naturally on September 2007
and we had our second son on June 8, 2007 :)
What the doctors said would be impossible, God made possible!!!!
Having this baby with the help of God and without any help from the 
doctors and medicine has been VERY healing for our relationship.
Like I said my relationship isnt perfect BUT it is the healthiest relationship 
I have EVER been in because we treat each other with love and respect, 
and we don't hurt each other. 

When I tell my wife that I love her, I try and behave like I love her!!!

Keep stepping and
Stay in the light

Stay in the Light,
In loving service,

Joy in the Seeking

I no longer search for fortunes
or the fame I once desired
or to be a well known writer
like the ones I have admired.
All I seek today is knowledge
of the Grace of God so sweet
and to pass it on to others
this will make my life complete.
Just to shine His light toward others
giving back what's give to me
so the lonely hearts in darkness
might find a way to see
That there's joy in every moment
In the Grace our God has give
and the peace is over flowing
if our life for Him we live
Let us pray to be a vessel
of the light He shines today
so others all about us
will see to find their way.
As we trudge this road together
hand in hand we shall survive
baring one another's burdens
makes us glad to be alive.
For true joy is in the seeking
and with gratitude we list
all the blessings we are given
by His Grace we still exist.
For in truth it's in the knowing
by all rights we should be dead.
Yet He lets us keep on living
so that others might be lead.

Just For Today 
March 15                               Feeling A "Part Of"

"The get-togethers after our meetings are good opportunities to
share things that we didn't get to discuss during the meeting."
Basic Text p. 29

Active addiction set us apart from society, isolating us. Fear was at the
core of that alienation. We believed that if we let others get to know us,
they would only find out how terribly flawed we were. Rejection would be
only a short step away. When we come to our first NA meeting, we are
usually impressed by the familiarity and friendliness we see other
recovering addicts share. We, too, can quickly become a part of this
fellowship, if we allow ourselves to. One way to start is by tagging along
to the local coffee shop after the meeting.

At these gatherings, we can let down the walls that separate us from
others and discover things about ourselves and other NA members. One
on one, we can sometimes disclose things that we may be reluctant to
share at the group level. We learn to make small talk at many of these
late-night gatherings and forge deep, strong friendships as well.

With our newfound friends in NA, we no longer have to live lives of
isolation. We can become a part of the greater whole, the Fellowship of
Narcotics Anonymous.

Just for today: I will break free of isolation. I will strive to feel a
part of the NA Fellowship.

A Lifelong Task

     "But just how, in these circumstances, does a fellow 'take it
easy?' That's what I want to know."
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p.  26

I was never known for my patience.  How many times have I asked, "Why
should I wait, when I can have it all right now?"  Indeed, when I was first
presented the Twelve Steps, I was like the proverbial "kid in a candy
store." I couldn't wait to get to Step Twelve; it was surely just a few
months' work, or so I thought!  I realize now that living the Twelve Steps
of A.A. is a lifelong undertaking.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Hazelden/ March 15th

A.A. Thought for the Day

We alcoholics were on a merry-go-round, going
round and round, and we couldn't get off.  That
merry-go-round is a kind of hell on earth.  In A.A.
I got off that merry-go-round by learning to
stay sober.  I pray to my Higher Power every
morning to help me to keep sober.  And I get the
strength from that Power to do what I could
never do with my own strength.  I do not doubt
the existence of that Power.  We're not speaking
into a vacuum when we pray.  That Power is there,
if we will use it.  Am I off the merry-go-round of
drinking for good?

Meditation for the Day

I must remember that in spiritual matters I am
only an instrument.  It is not mine to decide how
or when I am to act.  God plans all spiritual matters.
It is up to me to make myself fit to do God's work.
All that hinders my spiritual activity must be
eliminated.  I can depend on God for all the strength
I need to overcome those faults that are blocks.
I must keep myself fit, so that God can use me as
a channel for His spirit.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that my selfishness may not hinder my
progress in spiritual matters.  I pray that I may
be a good instrument for God to work with.

Today's Thought
MARCH 15

You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go.
Melody Beattie ©

Removing the Victim

Dont others see how much Im hurting? Cant they see I need help? Dont they
care?

The issue is not whether others see or care. The issue is whether we see and
care about ourselves. Often, when we are pointing a finger at others,
waiting for them to have compassion for us, its because we have not fully
accepted our pain. We have not yet reached that point of caring about
ourselves. We are hoping for awareness in another that we have not yet had.

It is our job to have compassion for ourselves. When we do, we have taken
the first step toward removing ourselves as victims. We are on the way to
self-responsibility, self-care, and change.

Today, I will not wait for others to see and care; I will take
responsibility for being aware of my pain and problems, and caring about
myself.

The Secret

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Keep It Simple*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There is enough of everything on this planet for everyone. There is an
abundance of air, food, love, joy, and money. There is enough money on this
planet for everyone to have a million dollars! The "problem" is not the
amount of money, it is the consciousness that determines the distribution.
Are you ready to shift your consciousness?

10 Prosperity Principles

1. In this moment, choose to believe that the Universe is abundant and that
you are a part of that abundance. You are a part of the universal flow of
energy in an ocean of abundance. One aspect of this energy is the concept we
call money, and it is just as spiritual as anything else.

2. In this moment, feel the presence of Spirit in your life and know that
Spirit is the true Source of your abundance, not your job or any other
person. You are always taken care of. You are safe. Remember that Spirit
always has the solution for any challenge that confronts you. Meditate daily
to connect with Spirit so that you can truly feel that all is well.

3. In this moment, know that you are deserving of all the abundance of the
Universe. Just because you exist, you are deserving. There is nothing you
need to do or be. Just be willing to accept the idea that you are deserving.

4. In this moment, be willing to give up your limiting beliefs about
prosperity. The abundance of Spirit abounds everywhere! Open your mind to
the idea that there is plenty for everyone. Your personal beliefs in any
area of your life create your personal reality. As you change the beliefs
that limit you, the outer reality changes!

5. In this moment, remember that you are connected with Infinite Mind. This
Mind works through the Law of Attraction, and It is always responding to
your thoughts and feelings. Affirm and visualize the abundance that you want
in your life. Include joy, peace, love, wonderful relationships, and health
along with money and material things.

6. In this moment, practice feeling the joy of knowing that all is well in
your life. Relax. Smile. Dance. Enjoy the beauty of nature. Focus on this
moment in time, not yesterday or tomorrow, and appreciate this moment.
Practice faith and trust.

7. In this moment, recognize that as you accept your prosperity, you
encourage others to do the same. When the consciousness of one person
shifts, it affects everyone else. Your own acceptance of prosperity helps
the entire planet.

8. In this moment, be willing to begin sharing your prosperity with others,
even if it is only a dollar. When you give freely to others, you are
affirming that you are prosperous enough to share.

9. In this moment, remember that you are on this earth for a purpose, and
that purpose is to be of service. You have your own unique skills and
abilities to offer in being of service. As you practice joyful service, your
prosperity will increase.

10. In this moment, feel the attitude of gratitude. Be grateful for
everything in your life, even those things you would say are challenging.
Each morning when you wake up, think of everything you are grateful for.
Open your arms wide and say to Spirit, THANK YOU!

Enjoy the miracles that occur in your life as you practice these principles!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*One Day At A Time*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

What was I Thinking?

I looked at the mountain,
What was I thinking?
It spoke to me of Strength!

I looked at the river,
What was I thinking?
It spoke to me of Life!

I looked at a child,
What was I thinking?
She spoke to me of Innocence!

I looked at the beggar,
What was I thinking?
He spoke to me of Faith!

I looked at the stars,
What was I thinking?
They spoke to me of Wonder!

I looked at the sunrise and sunset,
What was I thinking?
It spoke to me of Peace.

I gazed at a rose,
What was I thinking?
It opened my heart to Love!

Always we create outside what
Is hidden within and speak to
Ourselves as the Inner Guide
What we need to know to
Awaken to all we are.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*First Things First*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I Create

As I stretch myself out in my work
my family, my  community
sometimes I stretch myself out too thin
and I must return  within
to where the stretching began
and come back home to  myself

Where my heart is my home
where my own creativity  resides
To settle into flow, to lose time there
needs my full  attention
direction
permission

We all create in order to  accomplish
our destiny
to discover what has meaning for us
The  process is the path we have chosen
for our own Joy
It is wise to  come back within
and to give yourself permission
to create
simply  for the sheer
Joy of it all 

With love, 
Stella

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Easy Does It*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Clean & CRaZy

With no whiskey
with no wine
I’m able to have
a kick ass time
with no downers 
with no speed
it’s full blown life
I’m guaranteed
with no needles
with no spoon
I chase parked cars
and howl at the moon

I’m livin life 
clean-n-crazy
no longer livin 
to push up daisies
I don’t laugh 
with l.s.d.
I’m a chuckling monkey
in a tree
no more better living
through chemistry

I still have a mouth that talks to me
from the side of my neck
with a couple of jokers
and half of a deck
I’m still clean
I’ll always be crazy
I walk through life’s fog
no matter how hazy
no more dull imagination
from smokin pot
I’m livin a life 
I’ve always sought
with natural clean kilowatt

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Live And Let Live*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

You are a rich and creative spiritual being.
You can never be less than this.
You may frustrate your potential.
You may identify with that which is less than what you can be.
But within you now and always
is the unborn possibility of a limitless experience
of inner stability and outer treasure,
and yours is the privilege of giving birth to it.
And you will, if you can believe.

MEDITATION – 
The principle we are working with today is STILLNESS.
It is accomplished through the act of meditation,
which is stilling of the physical/conscious mind to all external stimuli.
Continuous, contemplative thought given to truth.
A steady effort of the mind to know and hear
the voice of God from within the being.
The act of “not doing” in an attempt
to expand the awareness of “being.”
When we quiet the conscious mind to hear the Divine presence.
Iyalna Vanzant
