My Idea's I use with Self-discipline & Meditation

I have found that I can take advice from other's and I can choose to use them or not use them? It's up to me eventually what will work for me in my lifestyle. I have been fortunate to find good people at my church. The Victory Outreach Church in Gresham Oregon in Oregon state. I have chosen this church to attend because they help people who are in active Addiction lifestyle's. The have homes' for people in Recovery, I also like that they help people who have been in gang's and other situation's that they are trying to get out of and into a better lifestyle. This is exactly what I did in my past I was lost in the Addictive lifestyle for many many years. It took far too many years to get out of. But, now that I am out, I never want to return to that life again. I love recovery and I plan on helping other's any way that I can. Just as stranger's have helped me, I would like to pray and help as many people in addiction lifestyle's to change and make a better life for themselves.

I liked this idea of friendship when I read it, I could relate to it. I haven't really had that many real friends in my lifetime. I have mostly hung around family only. So, I am just now in my later years learning how to make and be friends with others. I don't know why it took so long, but I guess it's better late than never? I know it is. I have been doing some self-help groups and learned how to think of others, not only of myself and my needs. I guess you could say that I was selfish. I didn't know that, I thought I did everything for everyone. That's only because I didn't want anyone telling me what to do. I know that now. That's what I have found 0ut about myself, I am still in the learning mode. I will; get back to it later on.
