That's pretty awesome. What's SA like?

My recovery has been really good thanks. Been going strong (with Hashem's help) since I started. Haven't fallen this year (2010) B"H.

Hey, so nice to hear from you...How's your recovery going?

Myself I have had to put this sobriety front and center in my life - I've been attending SA meetings twice a week and just started working Step #1 again - slowly....Working one day at a time. I'm truly a real addict and with hashem's (and his messengers) help I'm getting more and more into recovery and knowing more peace and serenity.

It's been a complete lifesaver...this addict needs live meeting and a sponsor he talks to and meets once a week...It's the only way I've been barely able to stay on the straght and narrow. there are amazing side benefites as well.My recovery has been really good thanks. Been going strong (with Hashem's help) since I started. Haven't fallen this year (2010) B"H.

Bob Dylan's - You Gonna Have to Serve Somebody!

You may be an ambassador to England or France,
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world,
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,
You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage,
You may be a business man or some high degree thief,
They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk,
You may be the head of some big TV network,
You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame,
You may be living in another country under another name

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a construction worker working on a home,
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride,
You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side,
You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair,
You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk,
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk,
You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread,
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy,
You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy,
You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray,
You may call me anything but no matter what you say

You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody.
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

Dear HB,

Reading that song brought back memories of Bob when you could still understand him. Thanks. Hatzlocha with your recovery. I go to SA too, and moving slowly - but moving - is the key for me, along with getting my insides out. 

You are inspiring others, whether you realize it or not.

Thanks,

Dov

Thanks Dov,

A Gutten Moed!

Trying to make it through today sober.

Sounds like a good idea, wanna have someone to call?

Hi there, HumanBeing,

You are being too quite. are you being human or are you turning into a silent angel?

Sorry there Reb Tzaddik...I also got your messages over YT...Thank you....Look forward to talking/writing again soon.

Thank you hashem for sending me such beautiful brochos this past week.

I need to remeber that I'm an addict and need to constantly connect with hashem to ensure that I don't go back into my umanageable life I've led these past 25 years.

So, are you still part of some group thing, like the SA meetings from a little while ago? If so, how's that going? (not to pry, of course, just asking...)

I go twice a week - It's the only way I can hope to stay sane. I also call 2 or 3 people every day, one of them being my temporary sponsor. I'm also reading through the SA WB and doin the writing for a 12-Step SA workbook called Step into Action.

Thanks for asking.
