About me

Introduction	My life has been primarily a desperate search for something to ease my inner torment and allow me to experience some peace of mind and sense of well being. Among other things in this quest I tried trucks, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, hunting, fishing, a house on the lake, a house overlooking a river and a mile away from the next closest dwelling, food and eating, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, religions, 12 step programs, self help books, a few therapists, a great wife and family of my own, a couple doctorate degrees, and a few career changes. None of those things are bad in themselves, but as I tried to use them they also were not the answer. Sharing what was and is the answer is what this blog is about. I will be trying to explore the answers I have stumbled upon in my desperate search that have provided much more than I ever even dreamed or hoped was possible. I participate in a few 12 step programs and I plan to discuss freely how and why I believe certain parts of 12 step programs and fellowships are helpful or harmful. Obviously, I do not speak for any 12 step program and my opinions are solely that, my opinions.
