One of my favorite places, in any seasonOne of my favorite places, in any season

 

It's just a marsh but one of the better ones I've seen,  used to stop there on my morning walks when we lived in Medford.  A quiet day for me, just out for coffee and home, my whole body hurts, I'm banking on this exercise will help my hands.  I hope you all have a wonderful day smoke free and grateful.

The great law of culture: let each become what he is capable of becoming.

~Thomas Carlyle

Each of us is unique, precious, human. We need to join in the movements of life and culture that encourage us to grow and change and live out the fullness of our potential.

By remaining immersed in our addiction, we are joining the dead in life, those who deny the possibility of growth and becoming. Addiction is a stunting illness that holds back the healthy forward movement of life.

In our recovery there are moments of hesitation and even of relapse. When this happens we do not lose faith in ourselves because we are constantly strengthened by working our program. We gain insight by following the Steps, and we find support and strength in our groups and our Higher Power. And so we continue to reconnect with our own rhythm and pattern of growth.

I am part of a living culture and capable of change and growth.

I quit on October 25, 2013, it was the best decision I ever made (or, one of them). I smoked for over 50 years and quit Cold Turkey. My most useful tool is gratitude, you can borrow some from me.
