I rely on him with all my heart every day and it gives me a scene of peace that use to be unattainable on a constant path. The only reason that I mention this today is because it is the most important piece of having a great life here on earth. I can not find anything more important than seeking Gods will first. I am enjoying my life more today than ever before. I continually find purpose by broad casting the message of hope for those that suffer which includes my self at times. Knowledge is key to finding new truths that help me to build myself up when I fall down. That is the joy, I need and not to stay down ,and can spring back up when necessary. I was told that depression is a gift. I talk about this more in my book "Kicking depression in the ass" subtitle "The Rocky road to Recovery" by Scott Coons which is on Amazon.

There is a workbook coming out in July 23, which can be very helpful. Finding a way of living in my own skin without using drugs and alcohol was crucial to have a happier and more fulfilling life. These steps originated in AA, but are applied to "Kicking Depression in the Ass" & depression recovery. There's no such thing as perfection in any of these steps, it's about showing up & trying. My challenge to anyone is to get a good understanding of these steps and try to focus on them for the next 30 days. We can create or break a habit in 30 days. Opening the door to a new understanding and applying them to my life was the starting point for a new life. I also find it very helpful to journal about your journey as you go along.
