Have you ever had a God shot? Do you know what a God shot is? I cannot tell you how many times my Higher Power has talked to me about something that was in my mind and on my heart. Today's journal entry discuses my experience with God shots.

Social media has made it easy to delve into the world of fantasy. Initially when I started on Facebook, it was just to reconnect with old family and friends. But as time went on, I ended up checking out old classmates, and hoping they were single. I realize that social media has its ups and downs. There are good things about social media and bad things about social media. I've since restarted Facebook, but only to promote this podcast.

For some strange reason, I can sniff out movies and tv shows that deal with some type of addiction. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I couldn't list all of my favorites, as this podcast would go into hours. I tend to go into character analysis, and direction. This wouldn't be good. I've only chosen ones I feel best represent my path and journey to recovery.

I've always been a fan of The Fresh Prince of Bel-air. I've probably seen each episode at least a half dozen times (Thanks to reruns.) My favorite episode yet painful one is "Papa's got a brand new excuse." That episode brings up lots of emotional baggage. I've since dealt with the abandonment surrounding my life, but still get choked up in the last 30 seconds of the episode. I have empathy for Will, and pure disdain for Lou.

Throughout my life, I was on a quest to find my spiritual path. I've been a Catholic, Baptist, New age, and Unitarian. When I got into the 12 step process, I realized that I found what I had been looking for all along. I found spirituality and not religion. With religion there are rules and regulations that can make recovery difficult. With spirituality it's just you and a Higher Power that you chat with. An old friend looking out for your well-being.I can be reached at [email protected] & Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063525829905

I really couldn't tell you how many failed relationships I've had over a span of 40 years. I can tell you that they all had the same characteristics: needy, low self-esteem, insecure, and also codependent. Two codependent souls does not make for a stable relationship. A few years ago I decided to explore why I continued choosing the same type of woman to date. I ended up with the conclusion that I was dating women who were similar to my mother. Who knew?

Hello I'm Michael, a codependent love addict. I didn't know what that meant until I went to my 1st SLAA (Sex & love addicts) meeting. Having already done 12 step work up n Al-Anon, I was familiar with the process. The 12 step process has allowed me to heal the adolescent & young adult that was trapped in previous pain. Diary of a codependent love addict chronicles my daily struggles with staying out of harm's way.
