I always have loved watching the gifts of sobriety come alive when the fog lifts.  For me, it was writing and poetry.  Others will find their own gifts along the way.

I recently met a lady in recovery (over seven years) and we had a converstaion once about being taken for granted.

To me the worst thing one human being can do to another is taking them for granted. Eventually the person that is being "abused" says I don't need this anymore and leaves. If they don't... they die a little bit each day.

I am so excited to share with you a video I just got done creating. The voice on it is from another person in recovery who I consider a very very close friend.

I got to listen to her sing this song and it fits in so well with what I believe about taking others for granted. I then asked her if I could use the audio track to create a video.

I am honored she let me use it and I only hope that the video does her singing justice...

So this video was created by a drunk and sung by a drunk...

Dave,

Writing, and specifically poetry are very important to me also. I used them in prior attempts at sobriety and it helped me greatly. Writing was something I was studying before I came into AA so its always been there. Might you share a poem sometime? (No pressure of course)

Beautiful song btw.

That was sooooo beautiful. Your friend's voice is amazingly sweet and gentle. I absolutely love this song, never heard it. But you did a fine job with the video as well. I think your friend should be singing for a living, that's how much I enjoyed her voice and style.

Creating is a really important aspect of recovery for many of us. I draw and canvas paint, and write and play mujsic. I grew up doing them, and I started doing these things again in recovery, as I realized I had missed my own talents and loves through drinkign and drugging for many years. Addiciton took away my will to paint, to play music.... it robbed me of a big part of myself.

But now, sober, I am flourishing in all my creative talents. It is part of me showing ME what I can do, and the amazing person that HP already knows I am. Art and creativity are a form of self-love.

Thanks for letting me love you and your friend tonight!

Joni
