Here is an example of H.O.P.E. from the brilliant Anthony Hopkins: https://youtu.be/7cKTrH0Utd4

How can one love, help, build relationships, connections with an inner feeling of self-hatred? Not possible.

The imposter syndrome and its many ramifications had become the core of my inebriated self. I was not that person before collapsing from this malady! (cunning, baffling as we know).

And to conclude…All of you are a fabulous inspiration to my recovery because it is teamwork! I am still vulnerable over alcohol and will always be, yet I found the solution which works for me: one day at a time.

Today, I pray, I do my inventory, I am of service, I love my sponsor, I meet you in the rooms. I am grateful! Gratefulness is also a huge part of my sobriety and recovery.

~ From M (that letter phonetically means LOVE in French:)

Additionally, I love to listen to speaker tapes and celebrities expressing their addiction stories. Money and fame do not matter!
