What do you suggest…?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Everything in twelve step programs are suggestions only.

Just like when you are jumping out of a plane, it is suggested that you pull the ripcord of your parachute. You really don’t have to.

Hey ya John and Jane, and all the rest!

Wow, my experience there was beyond anything to what I ever imagined! All of you were able to restore some order in my life, and make me feel happy with my own god given body. The mind; I have learned is a dangerous place to walk alone…and I learned that there. I learned how to have fun, without drinking, and to be honest shocking,  I didnt know I could snowboard…I knew i could snowboard drunk, but that probably looked even worse. haha. I learned to be ok with me, and most importantly my feelings…thank you….they were stressed to the max when i walked in the door of my house, I almost lost it….but I was able to hold a conversation, and yes there was an “I feel….. when you”….and wow it worked. Thank you also for reviving a passion/dream…that has been dead for so long….

There is no way a July semester is possible. October is the next, but if I can work enough, April I can make into for sure, and I sat down with my parents, and it went really well, they are both so happy I have found something  I’m willing to take a risk on other then the sure thing that I dont like, I was shocked, but I feel they find it comforting I have support there. I owe that to everyone who was at AHA with me, and discussed ideas with got feedback. or helped me write my essay! None the less, I will be coming to film school….to be the director, producer and writer I know is in me…and so be IT! I still also say my I AM statement daily, its engraved in me.

Everyone at a home away, are amazing! fun, caring, down to earth and very knowledgeable.  I love each and every one of them!

Thanks to you all, from the bottom of my…. used to be so black heart!!
It’s now red and pink again!
You all mean the world to me!

Matt

And I will see you all soon! Pretty sure at the BBQ,July 17th!  hint hint. haha.

One of the many activities Matt enjoyed at A Home Away was Horseback Riding

Message from Departing Guest: To All at A Home Away,

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

There are not enough words in the world for the amount of gratitude I feel.  I am forever grateful for all of the gifts I have received over the past three months.  This was  a life changing experience that has brought happiness, joy and laughter back into my life.  I can feel feelings again. Thanky-you for helping me find me, or as Casey says, “The who that you are.” A Home Away will always be in my heart no matter where I end up in this new life.  A New Life that would not be possible without all of your insights, guidence, support, and love.

Thank you so very much!

Love,
