Which topics would you like to be informed about?   My favorite topics are in reference to church and staying sober from drugs and alcohol, when it comes to AA/NA Recovery.   I love to read the NA Basic Text and the AA Big Book.  I also like the topics from the Emotions Anonymous Basic Text as well.   When I was living in Charlotte, NC, I used to attend THE Emotions Anonymous meetings on Monday Evening from 6:30PM through 9:00pm at a local church located on Randolph Road near Providence Road in Charlotte NC.   On Tuesday and Thursday, I attended my AA Meetings on Randolph Rd and Billingsley Rd at the Chemical Dependency Center which was right across the street from the Mecklenburg County Welfare Department, and  Area Mental Health as well.   Later that day, I attended Anger Management classes at the Men’s Uptown Shelter in Charlotte from 6:30PM to 8:00pm for 8 years straight.   On Wednesday Evenings, I caught the Number 15 bus to Emotions Anonymous as well.   On Friday Afternoon from 3:00-6:00pm I consulted with my AA Sponsor as well as turned in my homework on a weekly basis.   Otherwise I am doing much better now than before.  These meetings were very beneficial to me.  As long as I can receive information from the AA/NA Meetings on a daily basis, I will survive.  Please keep me and my entire family members in your prayers and thoughts because Recovery really matters to me  for the rest of my entire existence.   Yes, I still have homework to turn into my Therapist every two weeks and my AA Sponsor helps me along the way.   Recovery really matters to me.   Thank you for reading my essay about AA/NA Recovery and Emotions Anonymous as well as Anger Management classes.

What would your life be like without music?   Frankly, it would give me an opportunity to hear God’s voice.   Even though, I would miss listening to Worship Music and Gospel Music.   I also like and prefer complete Solitude.   I am not saying that I am an introvert, but I am not an introvert.   I am able to admit that I am both an introvert and an extrovert at the same time.

How do you celebrate holidays?  The first thing that I do is pray to God each day of the week.  I thank God for allowing me to wake up in the morning and being able to breathe His Precious Breath of Life, utilized my Five Senses 🙏.   I also thank God for allowing me to pay my bills and rent each month.   I celebrate the holidays by attending church on each day; during the holidays.   Secondly, I spend time with my family members and friends.  I usually cook lunch and dinner for everyone who is at my apartment.   I have food allergies such as: onions, shrimp, tomatoes, pineapple, coconut, and grapefruit.   I have other allergies that will affect my personal health and well-being of myself.   How do you celebrate holidays?  During the past few years, I have been spending time all by myself because my family members tend to drink alcohol and smoke marijuana on a regular basis.   Therefore, I cannot be around people who are smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol because it would jeopardize my Recovery and sobriety.   My family members usually cook enough food to feed over 100 people who are in my family.   I celebrate Christmas, Easter, and New Years Eve at Church located in the Dayton, Ohio Area.   In most cases, I have spent most of the holidays all by myself.  However, I do get in contact with all of my family members and friends.   I also get in touch with my Church Members as well.  I know that I am supposed to spend time with people who I really do not know.   I am trying to lose weight within the next few years.  This is because I suffer from Diabetes, Glaucoma,Cataracts, and Schizoid Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia as well as Alzheimers Dementia.  I usually celebrate Mothers Day, Father’s Day, and the 4th of July all by myself.   Even though, my family members are not too receptive towards me as a person because I do not have the same father as my half siblings.   My life during the past 7 years has been filled with Solitude and Loneliness and Sadness because my Grandparents, Mother, and Sister are no longer here on Planet Earth to talk to me right now.   Life itself is really what you make of it!  My neighbors who live inside of my apartment building do not talk to me anymore.   How do I celebrate holidays?  I have been lonely and sad right now.   I view the holidays as an actual day that The Lord God has made.  I do rejoice and be glad in it.  This is the Day that The Lord has made.  I have my own apartment to really clean up and I have to take care of myself a whole lot better than I used to.   I have to purchase new things right now.  The Love that I possess inside of my heart, I will take my love that I have for everyone with me to heaven.  Love is more important than money.   Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for keeping it real with me for 59 years of my life right now.   How do I celebrate the holidays right now?   I celebrate the holidays with God and Jesus Christ 🙏 🙌.   I also have my Sobriety of 34 years and 4 months and 15 days now.   All that I know is that God and Jesus Christ Love Me in the same way He Loves You.   I am really taking it day by day, and one minute at a time.   The Lord is Blessing me; even though I have been giving sparingly.   He who reaps sparingly, will also reap sparingly.   He who reaps bountifully, will also reap bountifully.   Frankly, I am in need of a good paying job.  I have to start praying every single day 🙏.   I also need to read my Bible and attend Church on a regular basis.   I need all of you to please keep me and my entire family members in your prayers and thoughts because; We All Need God and Jesus Christ in our lives 🙏.   May The Lord God and Jesus Christ will continue to bless all of you richly.  I Love All of You very much for the rest of my existence.     God Bless All of You!  Thank you for reading my essay about: How Do You Celebrate The Holidays?

Write About your most epic baking or cooking fail.  When I was an 11 year old child, I used to bake crumb cakes all of the time for several years.  My biggest cooking failure was boiling a whole turkey for a total of 9 hours & the turkey was boiled to perfection.   However, I also baked some dressing for my turkey.   A lot of people are saying that I have made a mistake by boiling a turkey.   Finally, I usually boil my meat with Pinto Beans and rice.  Thank you Lord Jesus for giving me the ability to cook foods and desserts.

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.   The importance of education.  The reason why I am saying this is because I would have graduated from high school on time; instead of 3 years late.  I will admit that I used to goof off and become truant from high school for a total of 3 years.   The reason why I didn’t go to school because I used to be an alcoholic and addict for an extended period of time.   I also suffer from seizures at an early age as well as dealing with issues inside of a neighborhood that was not conducive towards my personal needs.  Some of the friends that I was hanging around with used me of my time and resources.   The women who I was hanging around with were female prostitutes at the time from 1981 through 1986.  The importance of maintaining a good attitude for me is to listen to my Grandparents and mother.   I had became mischievous and nonchalant.   The Juvenile Court Judge told me to my face that if a child didn’t go to school they were mentally crazy.  The importance of maintaining a good attitude is to stay away from people who are attending church and school.  Another thing is that I have learned how to become responsible at an early age.  I want to mention that the importance of freedom is to stay away from street gangs myself.   I had to change my attitude from positive from a negative attitude because I was making bad decisions for myself because my Grandparents and mother decided to oust me from their houses because I was sleeping at the park until 4:00am in the morning because I was smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol with the people who were at the park.   The importance of health consists of taking care of myself a whole lot better than usual.   The importance of health is having a successful relationship with God and Jesus Christ.   I knew that I was a street child because I had refused to listen to God and Jesus Christ as well as my parents.   I really didn’t dislike school.  I stayed away from school because I had too many enemies.   The importance of freedom is to stay away from alcoholics and addicts because they were going to get me into trouble all of the time.   I graduated from high school three years late because I wanted to do my own thing.   There are people who really wished that they have graduated from high school on time rather than getting into trouble with their friends.  Some of my friends literally used me just to get me locked up early in life.  Those who do not love you are those who want you to be where they are in life.  Some of the people who live inside of my apartment building are smoking marijuana and Fentaynl right now.   The women will use you without telling you to your face.  Anytime there is a prostitute there is chaos.  Some of these women are selling themselves to the highest bidder.   I know because I used to purchase sex from female prostitutes from 1986 through 2010.  This is the truth because I have been burnt 22 times from having sex with them.  Buying sex is not worth it.   Some of these women are HIV POSITIVE AND YOU WOULD NOT KNOW IT.  YOU CAN CATCH VD FROM ORAL SEX.  THIS IS THE TRUTH BECAUSE I USED TO HAVE GONORRHEA IN MY MOUTH FROM PERFORMING ORAL SEX ON MY EX WIFE.  SHE REFUSED TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT HERSELF UNTIL SHE HAD PELVIS INFLAMMATORY DISEASE HERSELF BECAUSE SHE WAS A FEMALE PROSTITUTE HERSELF.
