Interesting; what came to mind when reading the first few paragraphs, is the blue book and is it ‘bills story’ that writes of the spiritual malady? Is that what you can’t talk about in this group; spiritual? thanks so much for taking the time to find and post

Because I put in the effort and did it. Not some God.

Thanks menno!! This is really awesome to think of it as discovery! That is a really good way to put it. I’m discovering so many things in the last 15 or 16 months. The possibilities of life and what I can do is really awesome but at the same time can be overwhelming. It’s hard to explain. I’m discovering technology type things that make my life better that I didn’t know about, I’m discovering that I like cooking, I’m discovering places that I would like to travel to and will be able to soon enough, I’m discovering who I really am as a person, and I have discovered most importantly that I don’t need drugs or alcohol to feel peace or celebrate or deal with any problems
