It was on April 23rd, 2012 when I finally made a decision to remove the last toxic person I had in my life. Up until that day, I had been keeping an individual in my life that had been perpetuating my addiction-prone life. I had realized that no level of the pains I felt would ever go away if I continued to keep people like this man in my life. I also realized that I would be holding on to some part of my self-will if I didn’t let him go. To live a spiritual life of love and light required me to take that action and so I did. But I also took one other action on that day. I wrote a prayer on the opening page of my Alcoholics Anonymous book that I use on just about every day of my life. I did this to solidify a new beginning and decided to share it with all of you in here today. May you feel my heart and soul in its words and know that a new beginning can begin at any point in time…
