Day 62 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program: "Then and Now: I Am on My Way"

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. You can't go back, but you can turn around. When God blesses somebody, everyone benefits. Working on yourself sets up the channels for other blessings. The "lay aside" or "set aside" prayer. Putting my trust in the program. Part 4 Just a few more days till my 30 days of sobriety. Thank you for your support. Sharing information. 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

Day 19 at the Midnight Mission: A Xmas Special! On Day 19 of my stay here at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program, I was able to experience a special treat. My dad, Mr. Bryan Meek, who has been my champion and my best supporter in this journey was able to come down and meet me on the corner of 6th and San Pedro next to the Midnight Mission facility. He came to see me which he called, "a gi ft in itself" , and for us to exchange Xmas gifts to each other.  My Dad gifted me a sweet HP laptop that I am writing on at this moment. Given my circumstance and lack of income due to my 90-day block out and not yet being placed on work-therapy, I leaned on some graphic design skills I have acquired from years of blogging and content creation. Using Canva (a graphic design program similar to photoshop) I was able to create a cool poster for my dad and for my sister as well. I will share those with you here: The above image I created for my dad as a Xmas gift. Here's some context on t
