Keep CR in place even if you don't meet sometimes, In Orlando FL we are meeting again starting April 16th, my journey involves 12 step programs I serve in, being an active Sub-c and homegroup member our CR ministry will be discussing issues like Denial, powerlessness and control. Haven't posted here in awhile, but my roots were planted in the NY CR ministry.
Hey all, hope all is well all over the world . Right now is the middle of the Corona Pandemic, we are having virtual CHURCH CR and NA meetings. If you need a meeting check on one the the CR websites or even an NA website. Here in Orlando I help manage the Orlandona.org and Orlandocr.com websites
not much action on the site lately, wanted to share a story. I graduated CR back in 1989 in NYC , been in FL last 26 years. Recently one of my rental houses was turned into a grow House, during my dealing with the cleanup I encountered much cannabis smell, plus found large bags full of it. (immediately turned into the local police or destroyed) , if not for God's power and being taught to obey (as in matt 28:20) from Cr I may have used during this situation. Thanks to the NYC CR ministry I am still standing. I have many photos of the house, hopefully my experience can helps others somehow.
I grew up in a fairly large family (7 of us) and we lived with my Mom who cared for us and made the most out of what little we had. She drank and partied on the weekends, so I was exposed to alcohol very early in life. I would try marijuana and opium at age 12 but felt it was a waste of time and money, so I would not indulge until much later.

I would not indulge until later in life. It wasn't until age seventeen, when I started attending college, that I began indulging in all kinds of immoral behavior.
My life of drug abuse started when I was ten years old.My addiction would take me into my mid-thirties. I've done everything from marijuana to LSD, PCP to smoking crystal meth everyday for three years. Not only did I have a drug problem, but also a behavior problem stemming from all the drug abuse.
As far back as I can remember I have always had a very selfish streak. It was always all about me. I rewarded myself thinking I'd deserved it at the cost of so many others feelings. I drank to ease my conscience. I progressed as a daily drinker and in the end was free-basing cocaine on a daily basis. I tried so hard to control myself but in the end I'd give in.
