About Me

35 years old. living in Mass.
I grew up in Georgia.
I am a recovering alcoholic and addict
with 12 years clean and sober
I am a huge sports fan
and love to watch sports in my spare time.
I love meeting new people
and sharing my recovery with others
interests include -
sports, recovery, family, music, civil war
I just like to have intelligent and emotional conversations
true and meaningful connections with people
Life is to be lived.. intensely and with passion.
With WIDE EYES and OPEN HEARTS.
Finding joy in the journey that is self discovery
and taking in the world around me
I like to write poetry and over the past couple of years
I have written quite a bit of it.
I hope to share a BLOG a day for a while
and get some feedback even on some old ones as well
So feel free to leave some comments... and i'll comment back :)

here are the steps we took which are suggested as a means of recovery:
1) We admitted we were powerless over myspace--that our lives had become unmanageable.
2) Came to believe that a Power greater than Tom could restore us to sanity.
3) Made a decision to turn our passwords and our computers over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of friends, comments and inbox.
5) Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another myspace friend the exact nature of our wrongs.
6)Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects from our computer.
7)Humbly asked Tom to delete our accounts.
8) Made a list of all persons we had sent hate mail to or flirted with their significant other and became willing to make amends to them all.
9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others or meant going back on myspace.
10) Continued to take personal inventory of our friends, lovers and haters, and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11) Sought through prayer and abstination from the computer to improve our conscious contact with the real world, as we understand it, praying only for knowledge of a better future and will for us and the power to carry that out.
12) Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to myspace addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
