Creating Dreams, by passing it on
|
To survive in recovery, I constantly need to "pass it on." To freely give away what I have
learned, so ultimately, I'll receive more. It is for this reason that I have created the award,
just to the right.
The sites listed below were found during my own searches. These are just sites that I truly
enjoy. They are truly ambassadors of Passing it On!
For those in recovery or on their own inner journey to spiritual fulfillment, these sites may
just be able to share their light with you.
January 2010 - The Idler
One of my favorite recovery authors is John Bradshaw who talks about becoming "A human
BEing - not a human DOing." And while he gives some points on how to achieve this The Idler
takes it one step further and helps you remember a simpler time where we weren't "own" by the
various possessions of our life.
I recently got involved with some deep recovery conversations with a person from England and they sent me a book
of The Idler's and I loved it. Not so much because of the changes I would have to make, but rather it is what I
believed for a long time. Though I never called it 'Idling' my word for it is 'lounging.' 2010 starts with The Idler and
my dream to hopefully become one before the end of the year.
February 2010 - All Spirit
The first two words on the All Spirits homepage says it all - "spiritual
unfoldment." Sacred scripts, poetry, philosophy, lyrics, and quotes.
A wonderful place to contemplate and relax. If you want to start your journey within... Allspirit is a great place to start.
March 2010 - Mike Purington & The Messengers
I have always had a soft spot for sober musicians. My talents are limited by what I
can write. Mike and his group go one step further. They write the message and
and then transform the words into music. I talk often about the gifts alcoholics and addicts are born with and never
use until they find sobriety. Mike is using his God given gifts to help others...
April 2010 - Courage To Change Club
I recently stumbled upon this site by doing a review of my own site. I found a link to my site from
Courage To Change, so I checked it out. A perfect little information portal for the Tri-State area.
What I enjoyed was a trip down memory lane. I clicked on a link for "Northern New Jersey," and
found meetings in my birth home of Closter, NJ.
It's all here for the folks of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. Can't find a meeting... you'll find it here. The
group is also in the beginnings of social page through the NING network. Stop by and have a look around.
May 2010 - Sober Sites
There are numerous "top sites" on the web... but this one to me is the top dog. This is
the top site - Top Site! All sorts of recovery sites can be found here. Stop by and have
a look around and I'm sure you'll find a site that will peak your interest.
June 2010 - One Day At A Time
A personal blog that covers a variety of addictions in a very upfront and brutally honest
way. If you open your mind to a different lifestyle this blogger has a lot to offer.
July 2010 - 11th Step Meditation
The best gift that I have received in recovery is meditation. Some folks say we need to
stay busy and do things, but if we have a strong spiritual foundation... then some of
the best days we can experience are days when we are alone.
August 2010 - Big Book Sponorship
I have found at times that meetings have not always been in line with what the Big Book
says... over the years new members have come to accept as fact things that are nothing
more then myth. I was encouraged by a friend to check this site out and specifically the page that this banner is linked
too. I hope you will spend some time and look around... and maybe find a new appreciation for the Big Book and AA.
September 2010 - Rum Radio
I found this site awhile back and to be honest, I forgot about it. Then it was mentioned on a
message board I belong too and I looked around again.
Are you looking for a sponsor? Or do you want to sponsor someone? This site is a good beginning to find the answers
you are searching. For the alcoholic/addict finding a good sponsor is an important part of recovery. And being a
sponsor is the ultimate form of respect and trust. Why not stop by and have a look around. A very friendly and relaxed
site awaits you.
