What’s up guys, I’m a three time alumni from Stepworks. Yes I took it literal when they said “keep coming back”. I’m so thankful for the team at stepworks, giving me a foundation in step one was huge , this is the only step thy we must 100% do! The idea has to be completely smashed that we can drink successfully. If you don’t think so you can be a three time alumni too, if you make it back. Now I’m little over two years sober, have a beautiful God sent wife, and have visitations with my son set through the court. Take a suggestion, be honest, openminded, and willing to a new way of life. If you don’t believe me seek it out yourself what keeps landing you in jail, and institutions. Love you all and hit me up anytime, who knows it may help you stay sober today, I know it will help me stay sober today!

The way I see you is not always the way you actually look. The images in my line of sight are defined by my internal condition. What that means is that if the wheels are turning inside my skull and my focus is centered on a negative emotion then my perception becomes clouded and I start to influence the world around me in a negative way. Waking up on the wrong side of the bed , so to speak, can quickly become putting on the wrong clothes , drinking the wrong coffee, taking the wrong way to work, people having the wrong look on their faces, etc... Our minds our complex, so much so that sometimes when you dream, one side of the brain is creating the dream while the other is experiencing it and neither one is aware of what the other is doing. Maybe that is a part of the Devine spark in each of us. How we can literally create the world we experience with our thoughts and our words.Maybe that's why it's Soo important to choose both of those very carefully. Knowing that there was a time when you thought you would never draw breath again, and being brought out of that hell , doesn't always mean you will be grateful for every breath you take. Clancy says you have to create moments of intermittent gratitude. Purposefully seek it and recognise it. Things and people don't lose their shine, we lose our gratitude for them and they start to become a mirror for our discontent. Maybe that's why keeping a firm grasp on our own personal bottom is soo important. Maybe it helps keep our perspective grounded. I hope a small part of me never forgets what nothing feels like. I pray I never allow myself to get caught up in possession and the attainment of things that don't truly matter. When the clock runs out I'm sure the only thing I'll really wish for is to be able to turn the hands back and get a little more precious time with the ones I cherish. I'm sure that if in that last moment I was gifted with all the currency this world has to offer , I would happily trade it all away for 5 more minutes with my loved ones. ~ Shin Bin Kikt ~

24 Hours A Day May 6 AA Thought for the Day I’ve noticed that the ones who do the most for AA are not in the habit of boasting about it. The danger of building myself up too much is that, if I do, I’m in danger of having a fall. That pattern of thought goes with drinking. If one side of a boat gets too far up out of the water, it’s liable to tip over. Building myself up and drinking go together. One leads to the other. So if I’m going to stay sober, I’ve got to keep small. Have I got the right perspective on myself? Meditation for the Day The way sometimes seems long and weary. So many people today are weary. The weariness of others must often be shared by me. The weary and the heavy-laden, when they come to me, should be helped to find the rest that I have found. There is only one sure cure for world-weariness and that is turning to spiritual things. In order to help bring about the turning of the weary world to God, I must dare to suffer, dare to conquer selfishness in myself, and dare to be filled with spiritual peace in the face of all the weariness of the world. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may be a help to discouraged people. I pray that I may have the courage to help bring about what the weary world needs but does not know how to get.
