Try to make me go to rehab...i'm already here!  

on a serious note:

There have been some major changes in the last 6 days. I am currently in rehab till Wednesday and i've been keeping myself busy by reading, building a zen garden and attending anonymous meetings.

 here is the time to thank my angels by name for helping me see that my existence is not yet to come to an end:

Adrian, Anthony, Derrick, Eugene, Dave, Tiffany, Melody, Stephanie, Avon, Kelsey, Alyssandra, Melissa, Sister Janine, Mama, Sarah, Melly, and Hannah.

I am sincerely grateful for each and every one of you. I've prayed for you since the age of 9 which was the first time i've ever tried to end my life.

Community building and encouragement is my driving force for impacting society in a quiet and progressive way.

I lived in gutter trash for so many years and have tried my hardest to come up with a philosophical reason why i've been dealt such a horrific deck of cards...but quite frankly, i wouldn't have come to the state of where am now..." if you don't have a past, you ain't gonna last" ---those are words from the street. truth...

IN A CONSTANT STATE OF LEARNING AND ACCEPTING,

sheryl

Sheryl,

it's been 13 years since my last drink or drug, . . . thank you for blogging today . . . one of my musician friends overdosed a week ago, bluesman Robert Lucas from Long Beach. He had started our local 12 step music meeting . . .


you are such a talented and beautiful person, i feel blessed to know you. for me there is life after after my 20 years of abuse . . . i didn't stop until age 36, i'm still the same leftist progressive musician . . .
just not numbing the feelings (as much)

i don't know your situation or much of your story, but going to see you play music i know you are valued and loved by your friends

i can only offer my own experience strength and hope, i know there is a solution . . .

Sherylove,

I missed your call this morning because my flight last night was canceled when I was waiting for it at the airport, and I was up trying to figure out what to do/how to get back to Berkeley.

I'm sorry, hon. I WILL see you in a few weeks, though.


I'll give you a ring tomorrow, no doubt. But I love you, friend. Take care of your beautiful self.


Sending lots of Bay Area foggy hugs.
