The next awakening
I have learned many times there is always another awakening if I choose to experience it. My first awakening was many years ago long before I knew what it was, and I never talked about it. My sobriety started with a big awakening in which my obsession for alcohol was removed, I thought that was […]
Available.
I am reminded how the Spirit of Love, that which I choose to call God, is always available to anyone. The frequency that is God is in and around all of creation. I am never without access to the Love that is God. I remember being asked: “If you feel far away from God, who […]
Happiness
It is a byproduct of love-based service. I have tried to be of service to others with the intention of gaining some appreciation from others. I have tried to be of service to others with the intention of being told how I am a great guy. I ended up with frustration, and annoyance. As I […]
Resentments.
These are the creators of disharmony and discord in the humans. I have experienced both of these conditions, and I have fallen into anger, anxiety, darkness, and depression due to my resentments. I would frequently mask my resentments with religious righteousness and sarcasm or intellectual pride and smugness, but I was simply resentful. I have […]

I am reminded that we all have choices in how we live. In my life I have made many choices which are judged as bad or sinful and from those I earned consequences. I have made choices which damaged my physical health, relationships, mental health and spiritual connection. From each of these I learned that […]

Out of the pit
I am reminded how a person’s faith in the Divine Energy, which I call God will lift them out of the deepest of pits. When I was in the mental health ward I do remember hearing one voice in my head, and it said: “You no longer need to live this way.” At that moment […]
Conditions.
I am reminded how conditions no longer set my mood. When I changed my perception of life my life changed. It started when I quit drinking, and I needed to change my core beliefs about drinking. I seriously believed my style of drinking was normal until I ended up in the mental health ward at […]
Why?
I have been questioned as to why I share what I used to be like, what happened and what I am like now. I do it out of a desire to be of service to others as well as to remain sober. I do it to remind myself of the Love that is God and […]
Maturity
I am reminded that maturity actually begins with spirituality. I used to believe that the number of sex partners I had made me all grown up. Or the number on my paystub made me mature, or the number of houses I have owned made me a man, I put so much emphasis on my instincts […]
