For too many years I tried to be “the same” as other people; matched their styles,
repeated their words, did what they wanted, lived to please a crowd of people I did
not really know and they certainly did not know me! I said other people’s prayers,
quoted other people’s opinions and memorized the ideas of others and I felt
empty.
Today I value the lives of others but I am slowly beginning to explore my place in this
universe. Today I accept the “specialness” that is me; that uniqueness makes me
God’s miracle. Now others are listening and benefiting from my life.

Funny thing about me is that I spent most of my life trying to be different…Long hair, tattoo’s, drugs, alcohol. crime…All the things that i was using trying to set myself apart…I no longer have to do that…I have become happy with the person I have become…The 12 steps have helped me identify who I am & I have learned to love that person…
My uncle passed away yesterday from a heart attack…He got up yesterday morning just like he did everyday of his life but yesterday afternoon it ended…Life is not guaranteed & worrying about tomorrow is completely futile…I try to spend my life in “Today” & love the person I am…till next time…
