Jami's Journey Into Recovery

Jami

love you


Hi Family! My name is Jami, and I am a very grateful recovering addict... Welcome to my journey into recovery!
I walked into the doors of Narcotics Anonymous on November 17, 1987. That was the day that life began to change for me. I'm taking this new way of life one day at a time and I hope you'll join me. "Together" I think we can figure out this thing called life! What I have found that is working for me is the faith in a power much greater than myself and a 12 step program. But without you, I am left alone to my own devices, so I NEED YOU!
I know one thing for sure........

I can't, but WE can!

I love Ya'll!

Alcohol's Disastrous Promise

I have some promises I'll make to you
If you will do what I want you to do.
The more that you consume of me
The more your losses will surely be.
Here are the promises to you I make
And I promise the promises never to break.

I promise to take your money, your home
And all you can get in the way of a loan.
I'll take your character, your reputation too
Your good name, I'll take from you.
Your friends I'll take from you one day
Your family from you I'll turn away.
I'll take your car, I'll take your wealth
I'll take your job, I'll take your health.
I'll take your watch, I'll take your chain
I'll cause you to stay out in the rain.
I'll take your credit, I'll take your bail
I'll cause to sleep in a dirty jail.
I'll cause you regret, remorse and pain
I'll cause your name to go down in shame.
I'll bring you misery, I'll bring you woe
I'll bring you trouble more than you know.
I'll take your clothes and pawn them too
The necessities of Life, I'll take from you.
I'll take from you the days, I'll take from you the years
I'll double the flow of your bitter tears.
I'll take your heart, give you one of stone
I'll cause you to walk through life alone.
I'll take away your desires to live aright
Your light of day, I'll turn to night.
I'll cause you to dishonor your mother and dad
I'll take away all the pleasure you could have had.
I'll turn your love for your friends to hate
Your desire to repent will come to late.
Your road to despair for you I'll pave
I'll cause you to fill a premature grave.
I'll put you in an institution for the insane
Your normal thinking will go down the drain.
I'll cause you to murder your very best friend
I'll trouble your mind to the very end.
I'll bring you contention, I'll bring you strife
I'll finish with you by taking your life........

On New Year's Eve 1997, our Harlequin Great Dane died suddenly from an aneurism. Master Jakob Dane (we called him Jake) was very dear and near to us, and we loved him very much. We have set up a tribute to Jake and we invite you to visit the site to see the pet that won the hearts of many.

WE LOVE YOU JAKE

"MY STORY"

For anyone out there that might have a problem with Alcohol or Drugs, I just want you to know that there is still "life" after the pain. Recovery is available to us all, if we are willing to take the steps to get it. If you would like to have someone to correspond with, someone to talk about a problem with by E-mail, please let me know. What I would tell you is that the best thing that I have found, and so have many others, is a 12 step meeting, but if you want to know more about them, my email is always up and running and I would love to hear from you. I also have many friends that are in recovery and would love to help you out. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principals before personality. In other words, your secret is safe with us!

I also encourage you if you feel you may have a drug and/or alcohol problem, that you look in your phone book for a 12 step program!
(i.e. Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous)
