		<description><![CDATA[There is a fantastic post over at the Trudge Report about being careful about the difference between our needs and wants as they relate to others.
When I did my 4th step, I recognized that my needs are not met by other people, but by God. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s overstating that case to say that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don't spout too much 12 step history here.  It's not my history.  I haven't found that I need to rewrite my story or to deny what I'm experiencing in life in order to show that we recover.  I share my story because I've learned that when I do, when I write about what's really going on in my life, I get the support I need to make it through another day sober, I get closer to being the person my Creator intends me to become, and sometimes, someone says, "I wanted to thank you so much for posting about [that]. It’s given me the courage to finally start posting about [my] issues. And that has been good for me. Not only that, but other people have been reaching out to me [for help]."]]></description>

The first tool they “lay at our feet” in DA is tracking; carefully recording all income and expenditures.  It is pretty easy to track total abstainance, but in a program for something you absolutely have to use, tracking becomes very important.
I had some money in my pocket since I got paid for a little side [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think, therefore I'm in pain.  I'm in pain, therefore I am.

My bed is crippling me and I have no immediate or intermediate hope of getting a new one.  I have a significant bill (from my wonderful attorney) which I've ignored for months now that requires my immediate attention (now that I have a job).  Yesterday I got a bill from the department of correcitons (presumably for supervising me and I can't even begin to tell you what kind of resentments I have about that) for $800.  I owe my shrink money.I'm living in the Debtor's Anonymous version of having "so many problems he despaired of ever solving them."

Among the reasons that AA really worked for me to get sober is the desperation I had when I came in this time.  The only consequence I was trying to escape was the pain I was in coupled with the clarity that I would never be able to solve the underlying causes and conditions so long as I continued using.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brandt is the person who was always my in back into the world of crystal meth.  Both of my significant relapses started with seeking him out.  He'd always introduce me to one person and one person was all I needed to navigate my way back in to scene.  After I was the one who had the dope, and I always quickly became the one with the dope, Brandt would become a constant source of referral business. Every week or so I'd head over to his house with an 8 ball because I hated getting high alone. ]]></description>
