Justin's Mistake - Meeting 39

My name is Justin and I am an addict AND I am imperfect.  And thanks to my God, the Steps, and the fellowship of other addicts, I am sober, one day at a time, since June 19, 2015, and for that, I am beyond grateful.

 Today's speaker meeting with Michael Brody-Waite was FANTASTIC!  His topic was "Benefits of Living Life Like a Drug Addict".  All who attended were nourished and came away with a little livelier step.  As soon as I ended the meeting my heart sank...  I realized that I never hit record and that the meeting with Michael was lost to the moment.  I got the opportunity to practice the lessons shared by Michael right away.  Those lessons/principles were as follows:

1. Practice absolute authenticity
2. Surrender the outcome
3. Do the uncomfortable work

With my error, I got to do these things right away.  I hope that we will be able to have another time when Michael can join us and record that discussion as it was really fantastic. 

For those not in attendance, I am going to include some links to some of Michael's stuff so you can get to know him a little and support him if you choose.
