During my childhood I grew up thinking I didn't really belong. Sure, my parents were good folks who I really love. But something within me just wasn't quite right. I had that feeling for most of my early years. When I was a teen I got picked on a lot.Part of life I thought. I didn't have many friends. Up to 15 years old I thought I was a normal kid. My Mom died that year in 1975 of cancer. The folks had decided not to tell we smaller ones about it. I was mad. Very angry and not sure which end was up.I hated God and thought why me? Well I guess that was the beginning of my drug and alcohol life. I just didn't want to feel anything anymore.
In the beginning John Barleycorn was my friend.Took away the stuff I didn't want to feel and made me feel like I was somebody.After 28 years of field testing, that old friend of mine, by way of my drinking just didn't do it anymore no matter how hard I tried. I just wanted to stop the pain I had for so long. I thought to myself, I got myself into this, I'll get myself out. Not a very good Idea detoxing yourself and not to mention dangerous. I didn't know the answers or which way to go. Complete defeat it was.
Well I got to that point of hopelessness and desperation that my fellowship talks about.
A wonderful counselor I had in rehab in 2004, helped me to understand that back when I was 15 years old, I was just doing and feeling what a 15 year old did, I had resentments towards my parents and God. When I came to that conclusion with the help of my counselor I had the most wonderful spiritual awakening. I was ALIVE!
These days I'm loving my life and I give thanks to God everyday for being in my life. I could not do it alone. And the real shocker was, that I was not alone. Other people out there were just like me. I started writing a web site about a year ago about self improvement. It's called I-found-my-selfimprovement.com
Quite a hobby of mine it has become. And if anyone out there gets some good orderly direction from it, well that's just fine with me.
I like to use two words to describe how I feel and they are Life Is!
