Today I wanted to share a few pages of a book I am reading as I found it quite pertinent here:

I really enjoyed reading that. Thank you for your share

So very true and identifiable. Who is the author please x

MandiH · May 4, 2019, 9:15pm

Same author as the book The Four Agreements I’ve been talking about so it sounds like you’ll like it!

@adeygaga49, Don Miguel Ruiz, this one is part of a set. I LOVE the book The 4 Agreements, this one was The Mastery Of Love. It was decent, I took things away from it that seem helpful!

I’m looking for a lot of things to read for rehab. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to get away from everything and focus on me. I’m doing as best as I can now, but I need this “vacation” from life to come out stronger. No family, no friends, no stress.

Barnes n Noble? I’ve been going there a lot getting books for rehab.

I’m sure, I found mine at Books A Million and Amazon but I’ve seen them at many stores

I believe you’ll get the very best from rehab you’re ready for it x

Awesome. Thank you .

Aww that’s very sweet of you. I hope so too. As I live in a motel right now and am dealing with a lot around me, I’m finding happiness to be inside of me and it doesn’t matter where I am, it matters what I’m doing and how I am doing it. I have no physical pleasures like my own place, my own car, a gf or really a life outside of recovery but I am honestly happier now broke, chaos all around me and I’m more happier than ever when I was loaded all the time hiding my addiction to everyone who cared about me.

Guess I’ll share this here, bc it’s random and positive.

Paraphrasing the AA Grapevine quote of the day -

AA… has one primary law, help your fellow man and do it by example rather than by instruction.

That’s what they mean by being of service to others.

@MandiH,are you feeling better? You had the nasty flu, yes? I know it can seem difficult to stay positive under those conditions. Today’s meditation was an exploration of the pleasures and good sensations I can feel simultaneously with my pain. I had a little surgery this week and sometimes it hurts. But there is also calm and strength coexisting with it.

Anyway, hugs for you,my friend, and blessings on your house .

I too have found calm and serenity even in midst of the storms, such a beautiful thing! Hope you are recovering well Dan and that it was nothing serious! I am feeling SO much better today, thanks for sharing your meditative thoughts and thanks for the love! This has been my happy place this morning on my deck.
