Day 62 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program "Then and Now: I Am on My Way" From being jobless, hopeless and full of drugs, to being sober, clean, on work therapy and full of life! It's been quite the rollercoaster 🎢.  Here's a little writing I have been inspired, at this moment, to put down: I have been in the valley of death; I am climbing the mountain to a better life. The potential to fall is real, the slope is slippery, but my will and my spirit is stronger than it has been in just a year ago today. 🌄⭐🙏 Change is real but it takes work. Faith without works is dead. Thoughts and feelings are meaningless without action. I thank Spirit, the God of my understanding, for working in my life and granting me the answer to my pitiful prayers. ❤️ I look back at this person of a year ago, I see things I recognize but there are parts I do not. I can't say I'm different, it's only been 2 months, but I can say that a change is taking place. Slowly, but surely

Day 23 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program: Testy Times

 *In the video I say "Day 22", my bad, this video was actually on day 23* Day 23 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program "Testy Times" Part 1 Covid tests, drug Tests, and frustrated brothers, oh my! The reality of recovery That split second thought of using. Today, NA Part 2 Some people are going to fall off. I can't promise anything but to listen. I'm having a hard time with thoughts and physical cravings. Running missions for the Mission Part 3 Looking for a proper sponsor with the right tools to help me. Slow down!  The haunting thoughts.

If you are interested in recovery or any of the other services offere

Day 20 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program: Exciting News!

Day 20 at the Midnight Mission: Exciting News! Today, Day 20 of my time here at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program I have accomplished a long time goal of mine. I am overcome with gratitude and thank the Gods and "Those Who Watch Over Me In Perfect Love and Perfect Trust" for the amazing services offered at the Midnight Mission of Los Angeles. The opportunities that have been given to me and that continue to unfold have been so overwhelmingly generous in more ways than one. There is something that is said at the recovery groups AA and NA (Alchoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous) that I really didn't think too much abofut till now. They say that if you are at a meeting you are in the least, "Sane, Safe, and more than likely Sober." Just to have a space that offeres all three of these exoperiances is such a blessing, So much so I was able to stay clean, motivasted and inspired to continue forth in my personal growth. Today a huge landmark in tha

My Journey To Recovery At The Midnight Mission Recovery Program: "To Those Whom It May Concern"

This was a letter I wrote on Facebook on Day 5 of my yearlong recovery from drug addiction at The Midnight Mission Recovery Program, in Downtown Los Angeles. It's the beginning of my documenting my personal journey. After this letter I started making video posts, updating my time here during recovery and the various lessons, challenges, and events that I have experienced here. At the time of this posting, I am at Day 19, my last video post was the day before this one, Day 18. I have since gotten a lot of support and decided that it would be good to start posting about my journey both on Facebook and here on Kyle Is Online. This is a personal account of my experiences as I undergo recovery from drug addiction. ** I use my own language and as you will discover I have a natural "flavor" to my chosen words which means there is adult language, and I will not  edit this as I feel it puts proper emphasis where it is used. I therefore warn those who may be "offended"
