Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece
of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The acclaimed motion picture Field of Dreams touched the hearts of millions and was nominated for an Academy Award as best picture of the year. Actor Kevin Costner accepted the lead role in spite of a deluge of criticism from his advisors, who warned him that he could damage his image and career by making a Care Bear" film. The sponsoring studio also levied immense pressure against Costner and producer Phil Robinson in an effort to add sex and violence to make the movie more marketable. When Robinson was tempted to buckle, Costner urged him, Dont give in, Phil?Ill be your rock. Encouraged by Costners support, Robinson held his ground, and the film went on to be a huge success without exploitative elements.
Is anyone your rock"? Have you acknowledged this person? Are you a rock for another? What can you do to support someone who is being challenged to hold to their vision?
The support of a friend during a time of adversity can make the difference between success and failure, despair and triumph. Encouragement and confidence are priceless spiritual gifts that can change an entire life.
A deep Breath of Life, Alan Cohen

in the name of love.

Emerson had a very low opinion of gurus. Maybe Alan should take time to become familiar with the authors he quotes.
Thats all :)

I'm sitting here trying to imagine Alan Cohen having a conversation with old Ralph Waldo. OMG!
