I discovered my SO, who I thought had been dry for nearly a year, has been hiding bottles around the house. No matter how many times that happens it's heartbreaking every time.

Definitely not.

At any rate, what I meant is that two guys can go up North as I did, do the same amount of work, give it 100%, and one has a spiritual experience that restores him and the other does not. One guy's obsession is lifted while the other's is not, and I can no longer answer as to why that is, other than perhaps fate. I used to be convinced that the guy who was not touched must have left something out or not really given 100%, but now I'm not so sure. Plus I know other guys who sort of half-assed it and were still touched by something and their obsession was removed. <br /><br />Understand that I sit down in the bathroom or something and write a these posts in a couple of minutes. Many of them are just my thoughts at the time, so feel free to take what you will and also feel free to leave the rest. As you astutely commented, the choice is yours! ;-)Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183269305957041463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530451786669304321.post-35768961572049048082015-12-17T13:48:44.163-05:002015-12-17T13:48:44.163-05:00Someone will recover if they are chosen to recover...Someone will recover if they are chosen to recover - okay, chosen by whom? God? Does that mean God chooses some people to have a wasted life and have an early death? Please forgive me if I have misunderstood. I thought if a person recovered or not, depended on what they themselves chose. We all have a free will.

Sometimes that is worth more. <br />2. Have you ever seen the movie The Premonition? This kind of reminded me of that. Once you change something to the way you think it should be corrected, you really are only just changing it to what it already was going to be anyway - your interruption is already figured in. <br /><br />Interesting. Sort of the long version of "it is what it is?" Lornoreply@blogger.com
