I am not a therapist, counselor, or psychologist.  The stories and poems I use on Creating Dreams are from my
own personal experience.  I use the 12 steps as a guide because they have worked for me.  Throughout my time
in recovery, I have attended five different groups that use the 12 Steps as their guide.  The way I achieved
recovery in these programs is not an endorsement, by me, in anyway, as the only means to long term recovery.  I
provide various links to different sites with other messages for recovery.  Ultimately, the way you choose to remain
sober and clean is your choice.

While I believe in the recovery strengths of the 12 Step program,
Creating Dreams is not affiliated with any 12 Step
program.  This site is not approved, nor endorsed, by AA, CODA, or ACOA.  Nor am I spokesman for any of these
groups.  While you can guess which 12 Step program I may attend, I never share that with anyone.  So that is all
you would be doing - guessing.  I do not grant interviews for my participation in any of these groups, nor do I
consider this site to be a promotion for any 12 Step group, nor any spiritual or religious group.

This site is maintained through my own finances and receives no financial compensation from any group or
organization.

For more about The 11th Tradition and this website please
click here.

The primary goal of this site is to carry the message of recovery through spiritual practices.  Which may include my
thoughts on the 12 Steps, as well as Native American beliefs, Eastern and Western Philosophies, as well as
ancient mythologies.

The 12 Steps of Self-Parenting were written Patricia O'Gorman, Ph.D. and Philip Diaz, M.S.W.  While I have not
been endorsed nor affiliated with Patricia O'Gorman, Ph.D. and Philip Diaz, M.S.W.  They have granted me
permission to share their program with my audience.

Also, I am not a cancer survivor, but rather I was a caretaker of a long term survivor, my ex-wife.  I share my
thoughts on this frightening experience just to let others know that they are not alone.

While I provide various links as a means for information, in no way does it constitute an endorsement from me.  I
have enjoyed visits to these sites and share them here with you as means to help you on your journey. I receive
no financial or personal gain by placing these links on my site.  Nor will I receive any form of compensation if you
choose to visit these sites.

If you are looking for an endorsement from me about some sites on the web, the closest I come is on my
pass it on
page.

By sharing my thoughts on religion and spirituality, as well as the 10 Commandments and the 12 Steps, I need to
say that I am not a spiritual counselor.  I do believe that it is a gift given to us to explore all available avenues to
find a Higher Power
of our understanding.
