It&#8217;s what we say about sobriety in the Alcoholics Anonymous program: &#8220;You&#8217;ve got to give it away to keep it.&#8221;
Last month, as I was nearing my one-year anniversary of being sober, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to give away my sobriety. That is, I was able to share my strength, hope and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=apassionforjaywalking.wordpress.com&blog=5344056&post=1708&subd=apassionforjaywalking&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

He&#8217;d been in a nursing home for about two years, landing there after a long and &#8211; from what I&#8217;d heard &#8211; often destructive battle with alcoholism and its attendant illnesses.
He died in his sleep, and I think B. had made his peace with him a while back, so I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=apassionforjaywalking.wordpress.com&blog=5344056&post=1709&subd=apassionforjaywalking&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

She: &#8220;We&#8217;re going camping tonight.&#8221;
Me: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to the AC/DC concert.&#8221;
She: (Laughing) &#8220;Oh, you&#8217;ll be soooo stoned.&#8221;
Me: (Weak laugh) &#8220;Welllllll&#8230;..not really. But I probably should be.&#8221;
I won&#8217;t, in fact, be stoned. I won&#8217;t be drunk, either. Or even tipsy.

It wasn&#8217;t the one in my picture above, but rather one out in my yard that I didn&#8217;t capture with my camera. The tiny bird buzzed over to a tree branch, alighted, and then&#8230;stopped. It sat there for at least a minute, perfectly still.
I had never seen [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=apassionforjaywalking.wordpress.com&blog=5344056&post=1603&subd=apassionforjaywalking&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Recently there&#8217;s been a spate of writers [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=apassionforjaywalking.wordpress.com&blog=5344056&post=1613&subd=apassionforjaywalking&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
