my own way, was not a principle i practices before i came to recovery. in fact it was a bit of time clean before i finally accepted that no one was going to cover my a$$.i can say that once i accepted personal responsibility for my physical, emotional and spiritual support, i was given the FREEDOM to live as i desired to live. i have yet to figure out my commute and how to get my daily activities done, before i take off down south., so i am writing this between work activities. life in an office is so strange and different for me, that i am still having a bit of culture shock. i am however, grateful to once again have money coming into my bank account through my own efforts and not relying on savings. as i need a few steps this morning before i get back to work, i will sign-off with a note that i can and will support myself and accept responsibility for my life and my recovery.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) There is always One who presides over the infliction death. He
who would inflict death in the room of him who so presides over it
may be described as hewing wood instead of a great carpenter. Seldom
is it that he who undertakes the hewing, instead of the great carpenter,
does not cut his own hands!
