”Within our dreams and aspirations we find
our opportunities.””

What
a relief it has been to get to that point in my recovery where my head is not
filled only with acting our fantasies. My life in active addiction was full
of dreams of that nature, or none at all. When I had several months of
sobriety, more regular dreams began appearing at night, and before long my
slumber was filled with the active workings of my subconscious with more
“normal” visions.
My
dreams are also a place where I re-enact events, or explore situations that
might happen and have a chance to role-play my actions and reactions. It has
been a useful place where my subconscious allows me to test out new
behaviours, to explore new boundaries, and to be open to new ideas. It is
truly a playground when my mental state is healthier.
Having
my dreams return is yet another sign of progress, another indication that I
am regaining my wholeness. Having a better interaction with my subconscious
allows me to explore even more new and exciting possibilities.

Affirmation
Dreams
are another place where I can seek opportunities for growth, may I be able to
pay attention to those hidden ideas.

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.
