Hello World of AHC,
I haven't posted too much lately, as I was a frequent member. I stood back, and re-evaluated my posts and felt under valued. Not from other users, but for myself. I was sharing so much of my heart, feeling, intentions. I felt a depth within the forum system that I cannot explain. I stepped back a bit more, for a few days, reading through every single post I made, and those who responded to me.
I viewed a struggling man with a fragile casing, to please those around me. I saw a struggling man, looking to talk about issues. I looked at a man with positive intentions that fell short on some people, even myself. I have used the drink diary and journal a few times, but I have a personal diary offline which has 10 years of emotions. I attended multiple A.A meetings, and I will say, sorry I do not connect with that system. As sober as I can be, I don't enjoy it. No offense to be shared, just how I feel. I promote it to people all of the time, I surely don't feel part of anything there. On the course of staying sober and succession, every individual has needs/wants. Which should remain respected from a person who is an alcoholic or a sober person. A persons will should never be revoked because someone else doesn't want it that way. I'm ecstatically happy to express what makes me happy or things I value in my journey.
I love to read, I love to learn new things. I have this maybe (some what natural and a whole lot of dedicated heart) ability to be creative. I educate myself every single day on things I know nothing about. Be it mechanic, carpenter, electrician, plumber, Engineering, Psychology. I love the fact I am an adaptable person. I love the fact I don't have a beer or drink, and then drive. I love the fact I didn't die from a suicide attempt, so I can embrace all the beauty in the world.
I have alot more to share. The only person I never tried to impress was myself. I'm impressed with myself, I'm glad I am who I am today.
Critics will always be around, but deflection of those mean remarks makes more sense.
Much love
- PjH
