Regardless of belief, if we are honest, we have felt the inspiration he is describing. That stirring, those thoughts and feelings that well up from seemingly nowhere, often catching us by surprise. Those AHA! moments when the solution to a problem “pops” into our mind, when we look at something or someone, perhaps for the hundredth, thousandth time, and we see through a different lens, a new truth apparent. The place we go when we just can’t take one more step, and then we do. A piece of music that makes us smile, dance or even brings tears. The compassion for strangers when they are hurt or hurting.Love. All these things, and infinitely more, testify to something greater than ourselves, a connection that cannot be quantified, measured or even really accurately described, though we have been trying too for thousands of years, but is there nonetheless.
We are all connected and receive in all manner of ways from something beyond our human understanding. We are spiritual beings, and when we can salute the connection we share, transcend the bickering, the need to be right, the one-upsmanship, whether we like or approve of someone being immaterial and see all as the Spiritual entities we truly are, the world changes. Remember, avalanches began with the movement of a single rock or the falling of a single snowflake that sets everything into motion, so join me today in asking “let there be peace, and let it begin with me.”

Silk sheets or city streets, Park Avenue or park bench, addiction is an equal opportunity destroyer of lives.
My name is Vincent Lee Jones and I have been in recovery since September 1985. My professional career began when I was nearly 20 years in recovery and was asked to work pro bono with at risk students at Huntington Beach High School. At the time I had developed a reputation within the at large recovery community as an effective communicator and was known to some of the faculty. After the death of two students from prescription drugs I was asked to start working with at risk students, which I did for nearly 5 years. Word of mouth lead to offers of compensated freelance Facilitator and Director positions with numerous local treatment facilities in the ensuing years.
As a retired Building Contractor/Designer, working in conjunction with a treatment facility, I created a construction program utilizing a workforce comprised almost exclusively of people new or returning to recovery, helping them to not only learn a trade and start making a living but since many of them had relapsed numerous times, to begin truly building a foundation with real aftercare to live free of active addiction. This program changed many lives.
In my 30+ years in recovery I have worked with thousands of individuals from all walks of life, teenagers to the retired, famous to infamous, prosperous to those living hand to mouth, adamant atheists to those embracing strong Religious beliefs; suffering from all manner of intoxicant and behavior-based addictions as well as those who love and care about them, both as a member in recovery Fellowships and as a treatment professional. I can be contacted at 714-366-1725.
I write and publish daily a recovery based nondenominational spiritually based blog at https://livinginspirit.blogspot.com with accompanying videos that can be found as well on YouTube and LinkedIn at Vincent Lee Jones.
