    my friend down the street

    He is not really my friend i have never met him ,but let me tell you the story anyway.a few days ago i was in chat and i needed to go to the store . it was very early in the morning.....on my way back there was a man that had fallen off his bike. i slowed down to see if he was ok only to find that he was looking for a bottle of jim beam he had dropped. now i dont mean a small bottle either.i thought wow its a little early! i came home and told this story to my friends in chat to find well they thought that because i was getting better so i could see the maddness of it all. soon after this i saw him again....this time walking ....no bike, its quite a walk in florida even in the morning,you know its hot here! I feel this poor mans pain. he is maybe in his mid 40's still gets his hair cut, must have had a life ..you can just tell by looking at him.i cry when i see im now just that i know what he is going through and dam what my neigbors must think of me.when im done with my book im gonna leave it at his door..poor soul is already soooo lost it just makes me sad. i can see this man with a famiy friends ,a job, all lost ,sigh!


    much love to you(and me)

    Hi Mojo,
    Your writing a book? Of your experiences? When will it be ready.

        Mojo, I think what goingsober is asking (and I was wondering too) is if you are writing a book because you made the comment when im done with my book im gonna leave it at his door. Are you talking about a book you are writing, the MWO book, or something else?

            Mojo, If you know where he lives I think it would be very nice of you to leave a book for him. It is so sad to see in other peoples what we choose to not see in ourselves, and when we realize we are not much different from them it is a real eye opener!

              Actually, it is inspiring - that could be us if we didn't have each other! We just thought you were an up and coming author and wanted to say "we knew you when". :H

              So many times, we look at someone's actions (drinking) and not think of the person underneath. How many times have we judged other people by their actions and not stood back and looked at the whole picture?

              Makes you think. . .

                MOJO,

                I'm so glad you shared your story! We truely wish we could bring everyone along with us to this better place! But only when they are ready. That is the hardest thing for me to accept.

                Writing a book isn't a bad idea! Brainey!

                        Mojo,
                        is there an update on your neighbour? I think I maybe can see me in this man's position in another ten, twenty years time. This is a very sad story.
