Audio (MP3): 20190203 - A bunch of bills and checks to write
Video (MP4): 20190203 - A bunch of bills and checks to write
When I was newly sober, having a list of amends to make was like having a big pile of bills to pay. And I hate that feeling: a stack of checks to write and a list of people and places I owe. It’s just always on my mind, lingering in the back row like somebody murmuring behind you at the movies. When I stopped drinking my conscious woke up and I start hearing the voices of remorse.
And then there was that one time when I was in high school that I stole a whole bunch of books from the public library. It was way back when shoplifting was easy. Go in with a nearly empty backpack, load it up with Hobbit adventures, and walk out. Just be careful and it was really that easy. I didn’t feel any guilt at the time because for whatever reason in my head, the world owed me.

Never have I felt that it sounds as if you were giving a speech. I’ve always been captivated by your words, whether it be written or spoken. I’m also totally digging the new format/video edits in addition to the DIY audio tracks. And as always it’s wonderfully relatable in regards to recovery. 🎶❤️
Thanks man! What you said means a lot and I appreciate it! In another life all I did was record music in my free time and I love splicing audio into spoken word pieces. Then I don’t have to follow the verse, chorus, solo formula. We should definitely record some conversations and/or musics at some point!
I would like that very much!

September, the 9th month!
It was no accident, the cosmos knows what it’s doing 😉
Okay, I don’t know what that means exactly.

“There’s no pillow as soft as a clear conscious.” Brilliant
I wish that was my quote, but it’s still really good none the less 😊

I like the Spontaneity. The ah’s don’t bother me. Useful/ Helpful content. I’d much rather see you then listen to the Podcast.
I think the ah’s only bother me when I listen to what I’ve recorded 😄
You are too hard on yourself!
I just have high goals for myself but I’m okay with not people perfect 😊

I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day I’d rather one would walk with me than merely tell the way …is what someone said in a meeting to me. I later found that they were quoting Bruce Carroll. I don’t know anything about Mr. Carroll other than that’s what google said about the lines.
Perfectly said!
That’s a good thing to carry in one’s pocket
