Welcome, glad you are here!

If your anything like me, there are times when I need a momentary inspiration or am looking for some fun stuff to do in the Illinois area that don't involve drugs or alcohol.  Well, this is the spot for that.  I've developed this page to share information about the Chicago area happenings and stories of love & hope. 

Please feel free to submit any information you'd like to share with me.  You can submit this to my e-mail address at [email protected]. 

Ok, now the disclaimer:  This site is not affiliated in any way nor is it endorsed by Alcoholics Anonymous.  This is my personal home page and information seen here should not be considered in any way a statement from AA.  Consider it though, a witness to the recovery and love available from AA and other 12 step groups :-)

I've only just begun please come back and visit!

We do not have to stimulate our senses to bring us anything; it is already ours.  So, let us see whether we cannot really find out what our souls are longing for.

We condemn men for drinking liquor, but we should not do so.  The drinker has a great longing to do something.  He does not want to follow the common walks of life; he wants to follow the higher ways.  Not understanding this urge within himself, he thinks that he can satisfy it with sense, so he takes something stimulating.  We are never satisfied through sense; it enslaves us more and more.  Aspiration is the soul's trying to find its wings, trying to realize wholeness in [God].  Never, until we find wholeness in [God], shall we be satisfied. 

-Myrtle Fillmore 1845-1931
