in the midst of winter i finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.

i'm typing as fast as i can but i fear i can only put down but a few of my thoughts today. life, truly, is moving so fast, so incredibly fast....that is a good thing. i remember those lesser days when all the time in the world yawned in front of me but i was no one going no place. wow. it takes so long to go from nowhere to nowhere. i feel like rip van winkle at times but, still, he eventually woke up and so did i.
i just returned from an aa convention this weekend and if i could bottle the feeling i had and still have i would sip from it whenever i find myself lost and uncertain of my place in this world. i know, today, that the most valuable real estate i own is not the huge river oak homes i would dream of living (i was so confident that that would fill the God-sized hole) or the hotel rooms in paris or athens or stockholm or just whereever. no, the most valuable real estate i own is my seat in alcoholics anonymous. i say i am an owner because i no longer use the rent to own method. i worked and continue to work for it today. imagine that.
i haven't time today to write much but i'm thinking of you all and hope to be back online soon. just know i love you always and wherever you go my heart goes too...................

Wonderful to hear your update! Very happy you found the inner peace. You've been thru a lot this pasty year, doesn't surprise me to see you're on the trail of success.

That's great Devon. Don't feel bad about not being on the forum because you're living life and as you said "rip van winkle is awake". Anyway, it was good to hear from you today.

DEVON ..... SO HAPPY YOU'RE HAPPY !!! IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE YOU'VE BEEN ON HERE .... I KNOW WHY ... BUT IT DOSEN'T FILL THE VOID YOU LEAVE BEHIND .... I MISS YOU DEARLY .... STILL HERE TRYING TO GET OVER THE SHOCK AND DIS-BELIEF THAT MY DAUGHTER IS AT IT AGAIN ...
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE ATTRACTION TO SUCH A DEVASTATING DRUG, THAT LEADS TO THE BEHAVIOR WHILE ONE IS ADDICTED .... FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS KID IS DETERMINED TO RUIN HER LIFE .... IN TURN, MINE IS RUINED AS WELL ..... JUST PROMISE ME U WILL PRAY FOR HER ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS ALL I ASK ..... LOVE, MARIE
