My name is Don and I am enjoying living life as it is today. Photographing London is my passion day to day when I am able. I have a broad experience of life, now happily finding new paths and ventures as they occur. Helping anyone anywhere find help to recover from addiction, I might not know how to help you; I do know a fellowship which can. Found the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous a while ago when life was very difficult and now sober for quite a few years. I have learned so much about how to live one day at a time, life has become very busy and fulfilling. Busy means life is full of the usual ups and downs we all have in living, “life on life’s terms” and very real. I live in London England and used to travel a lot with the job which kept me very much in the problem of life, drinking and striving to appear right to the rest of the world. A lot of fear back then, putting on a brave face and ego, in denial and drowning in a pit of misunderstanding about life. Nowadays, I have more faith, courage and confidence sober, doing what is right one day at a time. Interests have always been in helping people and organisations succeed. More balance now in my life. Finding recovery and supporting sober living. Life is busy, carer, action oriented doer living life, writing, photography, philosopher. And a weather eye on keeping healthy, not obsessively. With spiritual being the bedrock of life today, anything is possible and real as I come to understand what I can do, and I cannot do as life evolves. Three elements of living have become obvious in recent years, how to love, how to be loved and have something useful to do. The poem Desiderata sums up living and the serenity prayer helps me know the wisdom of living in the day. Being sober, I have experienced and have loving platonic relationships. And happily romantic relationships work in recovery. My life and outlook has changed beyond any understanding I had before. How to love, be loved and useful is wonderful and I keep learning day by day... Experience of living continues and fellowship and friendships abound as I put in the action and share life today…
