“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather we should thank God such men lived.” General George
S. Patton.
Honoring those who
sacrificed themselves so others may breathe free is a sacred duty, however mourning
to excess is destructive. Many have stopped living themselves when a loved one
has passed, literally hoping for their own end so they can “join” with them on
the “other side.” When we have committed ourselves to living on the Spiritual
Basis, death and all suffering come into true focus for, Nothing truly dies. To be clear: the flesh will fail for this is
the nature of flesh, but the spark of the Divine; the ineffable power at the
heart of everything that stands outside of time and our synthetic
understanding of the universe, the I AM, was never born and can never die. So
we mourn those who have passed beyond our limited sight by celebrating their
life, this lesson learned, comforted in the knowledge of their translation from
flesh back to true self, unbound and unencumbered by physical limitations and
let them go in Love, for Love is the connection that transcends all earthly
limitations and lies at the Heart of all that is true and just.

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.
