James -- It’s time to stop worrying and start living. The single irreducible
focus for me has been staying out of my own way and not being my own
worst enemy. All of my self-destructive thought patterns and impurity
are behind me. That’s where they’re going to stay as I realize there
is no end of the tunnel or utopian plateau to reach. I always felt
like something better was missing with me and I couldn’t figure it
out. I don’t know if this was a material thing or if I just had to
take a whole new perspective on the guy in the mirror and the trail
I’ve left. How can anyone pursue something better without knowing what
that something better is. That’s about as directionless, lost, and
incongruent as humanly possible.
I may not have figured out the broken road that got me
where I am but I know I’ll never continue in the one step up and two
steps back predicament ever again. Some emotional things may not ever
heal but there comes a time when you have to pick your ass up and go.
So now it comes down to being who I want to be in a
completely honest way and not being who I want other people to
perceive me as. Time to put up or shut up. Walk a straight line and
enjoy myself. O.K., So I’ve ruined my marriage and lost the only woman
I ever loved. I was thrown out with nowhere to go and no one to go to.
I can handle it now and talk about it with a clear head. I only let my
wife see the good husband in the man she married. The guy with the
giving nature and several other things going for him. She didn’t find
out about the guy that’s been struggling with himself his whole life
with dark secrets until after she gave her heart to him.
After stripping away a lot of garbage from my heart and
soul and using constructive thought patterns I’ve determined to be
Authentic without making any excuses. Even thru all my hardships in
life I’ve always had faith. Not so much faith in God but faith in a
human experience that enables me to deal with loss, deception and
lies, a conscience full of guilt, and hurt feelings in people I’ve
cared about.
In nine months of adjusting to a new life and new mindset
the positives are finally on the scoreboard and starting to surpass
the negatives by a wide margin. I’m appreciating my relationships with
my friends a lot more, I’m playing more golf, more dinners out, I’m
traveling more, and my investments are doing well. This has all been
satisfying self expression for me which brings more smiles and more
optimism. I need to get and play more, laugh and giggle more, eat the
good food, and let the real me come out. As I mentioned it’s time to
stop worrying and start living. It begins with the first step, the
first smile, and the confidence of a man moving in the right direction.

"I'm going to "graduate" myself from the program. Over the past three
weeks, I've been clear and sober and I feel like I'm in a very good
place with my addiction. The program has saved my marriage and put me
on the right track, where I know what it takes to lead a happy life.
The real challenge for me is not staying sober, but staying present in
my marriage and my life, staying healthy and caring for myself. I'm a
totally different person than the scared guy who called almost a year
ago. I truly appriciate what you've done for me. You run a great
program, and I will be forever an advocate for it."
