Homegroup vote…






My former homegroup has become a rudderless ship. At today’s business meeting those that were in attendance officially voted to not keep the discussion on alcoholism (as AA advises) but to open all the meetings to any discussion having to do with any addiction. I do not agree with this decision, but I have no control over a rudderless ship and I am not about to try to steer her. I will stay sober anyway and focus on my sobriety and the truths that feel are written down in both the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions. My sponsor would like this group to now become a kind of bastion of open-mindedness against the strict rules that apply to AA as a whole.

Like Bob Dylan said, “You go your way, and I’ll go mine…”

I’m posting some pictures from my trip to Croatia last spring. Just some incidental snapshots of a beautiful country that I truly love.

Johnnyboy is a queer recovering alcoholic. For the moment he is also the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from age-related cognitive impairment. She is happy as a lark and is surrounded by a crew of sober women which gives him the freedom he needs to get out of town. When he is not at home in Somewheresville, he is searching out the proper path to travel for happiness and joy. He is a photographer who believes in the digital age, but feels that film is still where its at. He has a darkroom and works in it. He is single and is in remarkably great physical condition for all the damage he has submitted his body to. His cardiologist is very happy. Johnnyboy is over the age of 35.
