”The man who follows the crowd usually
gets no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself
in places no one has ever been.”
Alan Ashley-Pitt

It’s
not easy to follow the path less travelled by…many people ask me why I am
going the way I am, or simply don’t understand. It’s hard not to question why
I am following the path that feels right by my own morals and values and by
my Higher Power when so many people disagree. Yet I know deep down that I
still believe in marriage after all the lies, hurt, infidelity and deceit. I
have not lost hope; I still have the desire and the will to work to make it
better.
My
life has changed and me along with it since I discovered the program. I am
becoming a better person, better parent, and hope for the chance to show I am
a better spouse. The person I was in the past is but a memory and I like the
new me that greets me in the mirror each morning.
The
path I walk today is my own and has the goal of my living as my Higher Power
intended. It is not about me doing whatever everyone else expects or can deal
with. I have no regrets for the decisions I am taking because I truly feel
that I am once again walking beside the God of my understanding rather than
being carried.

Affirmation
I
will walk my own path today even if those around me are not in agreement. If
it is the will of my Higher Power it will be alright.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
Book Sales
My first print run of 100 copies sold out, but I have had a second printing of an additional 250 copies done this year. So more are available, now at a cost of $20 CAD. My second book, Twelve Steps for Everyday Living, is now available for purchase for $15 CAD. It is my attempt, based on my experience and those who've been a part of my recovery journey, to transform the 12 Steps into a tool for anyone to use to navigate the challenges and trials of life.

Review it? Do you have a copy and enjoy what you have read? Can you help me promote it by leaving a good review at Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21939460-lean-on-me)? Thanks for your support.
In other news, after a long debate and some peer pressure, I have started a second blog, along the same vein as Lean on Me, but in my second language. You can check it out here - Tomber dans l'appui.
