I was amazed when I heard you share it on The 12 Step Call; and I was amazed anew as read over here on GYE!


That is Two from One time. ;D

One Day at a Time...

Every day we have to Davven 3 x - To get ourselves back on track and to recognize the only Truth is Hashem and he controls not me...It's his will that has to be done not mine. Every day 3 or 4 times for the rest of our lives.

A heilege recovered GYE yid once asked me how many times a day I daven. I told him "3???" He said "thats it??? I daven about 50 times a day!" The point is that if you want to be in recovery, you cant just do what the norm is. We arent normal people. We need that extra 47 times a day (atleast  :D ) to connect to Hashem to stay in recovery.

Hatzlocha!

That was a real smart Jew...

You see however that even normal non-addicted people have to Davven 3 times a day every day to remain ehrlich. Add all the brochos, bentching, ashe yatzar's, krias sheman al hamitah, etc. etc.

yeeah just realized everybody gotta davven about 50 at least. :D ;D

Licha Hashem Hatzadakah V'lanu Boshes Hapanaim....Macai Umasei toward the end of Slichus had much meaning for me this year about how a smart father doesn't punish a child for his sins rather....he shows him Ahavah etc.

What a tough and beautiful Rosh Hashanah, actually being present and acknowledging the terrible and also the the great things about myself, as I'm judged by my father and king.

Thank you Hashem for bringing me to a place where I can start getting to know you. There is no greater pleasure in the world.

A Gemar Chasimah Tovah.

Hey, so nice to hear from you...How's your recovery going?

Myself I have had to put this sobriety front and center in my life - I've been attending SA meetings twice a week and just started working Step #1 again - slowly....Working one day at a time. I'm truly a real addict and with hashem's (and his messengers) help I'm getting more and more into recovery and knowing more peace and serenity. Avinu malkainu...Our father our king blesses us and does kindness to each and every one of us in way of pure Tzedakah and kindness - Ki ain banu Maasim.

A Gemar Chasimah Tovah to you my friend.
