Flying out in the morning to spend a few more days with my wife, on the East coast. My thoughts are with each and every one of you each day, as we trudge this sobriety journey. Some days arent easy, and others are great--Whatever the case may be--we do it TOGETHER. We do it with compassion, and understanding, and with love in our hearts. Thats what matters.
Yes Ive been in the tunnels of darkness. Yes-Ive often wondered if there was a light at the end of those tunnels--and those tunnels were in sobriety.
I can guarantee, that there is a light. We come to--we come to beleive--and all we hafta do from there is just try our best--sober-one day at a time, doing what we hafta do, for us first, and then giving to others, of ourselves, when we can.
Truck on guys-keep looking up-and watch out for those damned sea gulls.
Love yu. Phil

The horror of that moment," the King went on, "I shall never forget." "You will, though," the Queen said, "if you don't make a memorandum of it." --Lewis Carroll
Crises come in many forms. When we are in the middle of any kind of crisis, we may feel like we have fallen into a deep hole. We may see no way out, and begin to feel hopeless and overwhelmed by the size and darkness of the hole.
Yet we are not alone. An animal caught in a hole would cry out until someone came along and helped it out. We, too, can call out for help--to our Higher Power and to the important people in our lives. We can learn to trust that, with the help of our friends and our Higher Power, we will be able to crawl out of our holes.
With trust, we will climb out of our crises and be healed with the passage of time. Such holes are a part of our landscape, yet every time we will be able to climb out and walk, leaving the darkness behind us.
