I will pray about it now.I will believe I am safe.I will trustContinue reading “Scary Things”

Am I Better?
Recovery Thoughts By Chris Bunton Over the years I have wondered. “Am I a better human being than I was before? or am I just sober?” Are we really better? or are we just trying to avoid trouble, keep from hurting our family, stay out of prison, or make more money?

First, stop cursing yourself. Say good things about yourself, and your life. Speak goodness into your life, and into your mind. I know things are hard. I’ve had hard times too.

On the water little rafts float,aboveContinue reading “Breathing Sea”
