My motto is "what goes into a mind comes out in a life." I am more thoughtful of what I allow into my mind.
I feel the urge to write. I don't have anything special to write. Just rambles. This makes my third blog on 3 sites. Just today!
In my effort to what's right, I went to church and now I'm in a addiction recovery group. I made an inventory of most of my wrongs, a list of things I've accomplished and a list of people I hurt.
Doing these lists has been hard.
My style of music has changed. No more ACDC, Boston, Foreigner, Guns N' Roses and the like. I now listen to Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Il Divo, Susan Boyle, etc. The calming music has calmed my mind. I can close my eyes and not see the flashes of lights like before. My thoughts are clearer. My actions are at ease. I have more compassion and empathy for others.

I hadn't read your blog in a while, so I'm glad to see how well you are doing! It sounds like you are making positive changes in your life. I remember long ago when you made comments on my blog and I appreciated them a great deal, so I wanted to be sure to let you know I had read this entry. 12-step/ addiction recovery groups help a lot of people. I know there is one member of my family who has gotten a lot of help from one of those, and I have known other people who did as well. Sadly, I have several family members who really need help for alcoholism and, from what I can see, are not doing anything about it, which is a very self-destructive, chaotic way to live. I worry about them all the time, and I offer to help in some ways, but there is really not much I can do for someone who doesn't want to face their problems or talk about them at all. My brother was in a hospital for it, and he said he was so happy to be sober. Then he got out and, apparently, went right back to drinking. I am literally afraid he is going to die; that's how serious his problem is. So it was refreshing to read your post, and see someone who is being proactive in their recovery from addiction. I am glad you are having the urge to write, as I think it's great when I get that urge, and I know exactly what you mean. Obviously, you have some things you need to say to the world; I think that's why we get the urge.
