January 14th – Genuine Change
“It begins with a real desire to stop using, with a genuine change in our attitude, with a soul-transforming realization that we are finally willing to go to any lengths to change our lives.”
– Life with Hope, first edition, page 4
This is my favorite line from Life With Hope. I just wanted to stop smoking. I just thought I could quit and move on with my life as it was. I thought I was a good person with a bad habit. I didn’t realize that I was going to be changing my attitude. My attitude towards my addiction, and my connection to my family, friends and God were all going to go through an overhaul. The program and steps taught me how to change my life.
Final thought: Every day I have a soul-transforming realization and for that I am grateful.

Marijuana Addict
Written By, Mark S. I lit the leaf to calm my mind,But found my soul grew more confined.A fleeting peace, a fleeting high,Yet every dawn, the well ran dry. The smoke became a binding chain,A silent thief that numbed my pain.It whispered lies, “You’ll be set free,”While tightening its grip on me. Dreams delayed, and…

Faith
Written by, Anonymous God is not only for those whose lives need him for sake of savior. We created by him are perfectly cut Diamonds cast into the rough of life on earth. This place where God’s light is seen clearly only by the will of the soul. I concede to the thought that our…

Thoughts from the Field: From the Source
Written by, Anonymous God is vast and infinite ocean and we are but droplets in the sea. We are made of the same stuff and take part in the same limitlessness. We move about each other, we droplets, pass around and through one another, mixing, swirling, crashing. God’s will in the great current. It pushes…
