what I look like now that I'm sober...
It is truly a miracle that I survived this long
I credit AA with allowing me to live to be 50. I was getting into many near fatal experiences and now I don't... Yes, The program worked for me.
I live in Eureka, California now and these are some pictures of a day at the beach...
A bar in Eureka. The name made me laugh...
A woman was asked by a co-worker, "What is it like to be a
recovering alcoholic?"
The co-worker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then he cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."
This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin. I liked this enough to send it to all the pumpkins in my patch.

This is a drawing that I did for John Mc. and he emailed it to me a year later.
It has a history... Including getting milk spilled on it while it was on his refrigerator...that adds character to the drawing AND reminds me to accept the things I cannot change...It is impossible to unspill milk... Gee, maybe in the future I could use ink that doesn't run when it gets wet...
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom to Know the difference.
MY MEDALLION
I always carry my medallion,
A simple reminder to me
Of the fact that I'm in recovery
No matter where I may be.
This little chip is not magic
Nor is it a good luck charm.
It isn't supposed to protect me
From every possible harm.
It's not meant for comparison,
Or for all the world to see,
It's simply an understanding
Between my Higher Power and me.
Whenever I doubt the cost
I paid for recovery,
I look at my medallion
To remember what used to be.
It reminds me to be thankful
For my blessings day by day,
And to practice the principles
In all I do and say.
It's also a daily reminder
Of the peace and comfort I share
With all who work the Program
And show they really care.
So I carry my medallion
To remind no one but me
That the Promises will unfold
If I let God work for me.

One thing that I found out by going to AA was... If I have a hobby that I am totally enthusiastic about that takes all my spare time... I won't have to drink to fill my spare time... I am doing computer artwork/website photography and that is a facinating hobby that takes all my time...
Here are some links to artwork by me... What I'm doing nowdays... java applet that creates multicolored gradients for photostudio...
