Homeless And Alone

DearJames,

I have a little over 93 days drug free. But have lost my job of 15 years and can’t find a new one. I’m scared I’m going to end up on the streets again homeless and strung out again.

My mom won’t let me see my kids any more due to the man I’m with, as she doesn’t like him. I miss my kids and my mother and have tried repeatedly to call and to see them and all she does is hang up on me, which is tearing me up.

Where I’m staying seems like we’re not wanted. Will things get better for me? Will my family ever take me back? Is this man wrong for me? Will a job come in time, or will I end up back on the streets, homeless and alone.

Dear Homeless And Alone,

That which you believe, you will experience.  Paramount to the success of your upcoming surgery, are your firm beliefs in its successful outcome.  Release your fears and worries of the past, your chronic dis-

Having been homeless and living on the streets before, you know both the dangers and the pitfalls of ever returning.

Your 90+ days of sobriety is your beacon in this purported realm of darkness you feel surrounds you.

Purported, as all of life is temporal and ever-changing, while experiences are viewed as challenges instead of opportunities.

Movement into a new era of being requires you to relinquish all attachment to matters of suffering.

To relinquish suffering, you must embrace the will of your own light within, above all else.

No person, place or thing may substitute for that which you are meant to transcend alone.

Caution yourself to never equate aloneness with loneliness as they are disparate sides of two very different coins.

You have many choices and options before you, begin by making the first one, the decision to never be homeless and alone again.

Continue that courage by facing and making the next choice by asking and answering your own question: “Is This Man Right For Me.”

Deep within you already know the answer to this question, and freeing yourself to do what is right for YOU is all that really matters.

Step by step, one successive decision and movement after the other, places you upon the path of Self-Renewal and Resurrection.

While the journey will require effort and great courage, it will also afford you great reward.

Summon your inner will. Seek out assistance. Humble yourself before God. Doing so removes yourself from the gallows of suffering.

Earnest people innately respond to earnest actions and intentions.

Words are replaced with deeds. False motive with sincere action, change, and transcendence.

Demonstrate you are not only worthy of hire, but forgiveness also, for when you align the purity of your actions, will, and intentions, your deliverance surely follows, becoming self-evident.

Change yourself from the inside, out, and watch how you take flight.

And while it is painful to be kept from your children, know that your mom is doing the best to protect them and everyone involved.

Trust is earned, not an entitlement.

Begin rebuilding and earning her trust anew by rebuilding it with yourself first. Commit to your continued recovery, healing, and renewal, allowing the very best you to come forward.

In time, she too will see the profound changes in you, changes only you can make.

Go forth child with the hand of God upon your back and the Wings of Angels upon your shoulders.ease, so that you may embrace the present moment with calm, confidence, and comfort.

Renew your faith in something greater, so that this experience begins anew your journey of self-discovery and thus your releasing of old beliefs and limitations.  The cell bars of any prison are often erected by our own minds’ beliefs.  Realize you hold the key to the freedoms in which you seek.

You chose your new, young doctor/surgeon for a reason.  Resonate and find strength in that decision, in his care and capabilities and that of his team, knowing you have chosen well.

The outcome you seek is within your power, know it to be true, and it shall be yours.
