hic et nunc
“here and now”

::::::::::::::::::::::: O ::::::::::::::::::::::::

The imperative motto for the satisfaction of desire. "I need it, Here and Now”.

When it comes to forgiveness, looking at you Mom, I’ve learned it’s best to give to whoever asks as soon as possible.

For me that’s here and now.

Under very trying conditions I have had, again and again, to forgive others who have done me wrong.

This also includes myself all the times I’ve screwed up.

And I’ve lived nearly 40 years of continually making some seriously stupid mistakes, decisions, assumptions.

No one is perfect.

Unlike you, Mom, I can forgive.

::::::::::::::::::::::: O ::::::::::::::::::::::::

I pray that when life is over, I will return to an eternal, spaceless life with God.

I pray that I may make this life a preparation for a better life to come. :pray:t4:

::::::::::::::::::::::: O ::::::::::::::::::::::::

Thank you, John. My Mother hasn’t spoken to me in 7-years. Doesn’t understand my mental issues and sees me only as an alcoholic/addict.

I’m nearly 26 months sober and in the process of rebuilding my life.

26 months? That's very impressive. I'm dual-diagnosis too. Are you working a 12-Step program with a sponsor, by chance? The 12-Steps are fantastic for rebuilding relationships and making amends. You seem to believe in something greater than yourself.

Yes, currently on step 4. Took me 21 months to find a sponsor and I go to meetings regularly, almost every day, 7 or 8AM.

Finally feel well enough and strong enough to start working again. The self medication got out of control

It’s a pleasure to meet you. We can catch up tomorrow, gotta be up early to catch the bus :trolleybus:

Take care. :pray:t4:🫶🏽:call_me_hand:t4:

I'm glad that you're working a program, and I'm pleased to make your aquaintence. Have a great day!
