“Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd
You know the song…do you understand the lyrics?
“So you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell…blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail…a smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?”
Haunting lyrics, for sure! Lyrics that paint a picture of absence…people going through life with detached feelings…coping with their world by withdrawing from life, physically or emotionally. Being absent from their own life! Perhaps even soothing their poor lost souls by saturating themselves with drugs and alcohol. Is your spirit crying?
Man traded obedience for free will, many years ago, in the Garden of Eden as detailed in Genesis, the first book in the Bible. How are you using your free will to cope? Can you tell Heaven from Hell?
“How I wish you were here!
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl. year after year.
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears…wish you were here!”
If you find yourself lost and swimming round and round in that fish bowl, maybe fearing the unkown, remember, you have free will! You can move to a better place….I really wish you were here, with me, and you can make that happen! Use your free will to join with the single most powerful force that will bring order to your world…Join with God! He already knows you , so no introductions needed, he loves you and he is waiting for you. Joining Him is where you will find peace, joy, love, and all the answers for which you have been endlessly searching for.
Want some ideas from Boom-Boom on how to get started? Open your mind and your heart, unconditionally. Get in a good 12 step program and hang out with these positive people, and practice what they preach. Read the Scriptures and call doorway to inquire what programs they offer that will keep you on track. You will be welcome there. Get connected…you’ll be able to tell Heaven from Hell!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot continue to hang out with negative people and expect to lead a positive life!
Boom Boom LaRue seems to have knocked it out of the park again with another wonderful blog! You are indeed correct by saying, “…call doorway to inquire what programs they offer that will keep you on track.” We have a lot of great recovery programs, some of which are:
Monday Nights - DTR Sober Living Participants’ Meeting from 6:00pm to 8:00pm (at the Main Office)
Tuesday Nights - Life Recovery Bible Study from 6:30pm to 8:00pm (at the Main Office)
Wednesday Nights - NA Step Workshop from 7:00pm to 8:00pm (at the Main Office)
Wednesday Night - AA Meeting, “Cooley at 8” from 8:00pm to 9:00pm (at the Cooley House)
Plus House Meetings on Sundays or Thursdays (depending on sober living home). Doorway to Recovery meetings are great places where people can share their experience, strength, and hope through the recovery process.
We look forward to seeing anyone at Doorway to Recovery’s Life Recovery meetings. The entire staff at The Doorway to Recovery is very glad to Ms. Boom Boom LaRue for her generous contributions Thank you for your good words and blog posts, Ms. Boom Boom LaRue 🙂

I’ve seen something very similar in another thread. You will probably find certain parts of that post helpful, not everything of course, but I still think it is worth checking out.
