February 10th – The Emotional Roller-Coaster
“One of the joys of being clean is the return of the full range of human emotions.”
– Life with Hope, first edition, page 35
As a marijuana addict, I have experienced mood swings. Incredible joy and happiness can quickly move to utter despair in a matter of moments. Sometimes these quick changes in my emotions can be very confusing. As I gain time in recovery, I spend more time in the world of affairs, spreading my wings, and experiencing life to the fullest. These experiences will no doubt come with the fullness of the human condition; this means there will be experiences that will make me happy and those that will make me incredibly sad.
Also, there are some experiences where I will have to wait and see what happens; sometimes these are the hardest to bear. Today, I will embrace my feelings–—good, bad, or indifferent. I know that these feelings are a gift from my Higher Power as proof positive that I am fully engaged in life, and truly living life on life’s terms.
Final thought: Today, I embrace my emotions. I know that my Higher Power is working in my life today.

Being of Service
Written by, Kathy C. Webster’s Dictionary defines commitment as:“An act of doing or performing something; a promise or pledge to do something.” I describe commitment as a simple extension of oneself in service to others, done in the name of gratitude. We can have no speakers without listeners, no takers without givers. Being of service…

Contemplating Fellowship
Written by, Geoff F. Recently, it came to my attention that a new MA meeting has been started at the Gay & Lesbian Community Center in West Hollywood. I knew one day such a meeting would start, for if we believe even Master’s and Johnson’s conservative statistics, 10% of all marijuana addicts are gay. I…
