   • Hi, thanks for visiting SoR! The picture is the view out of my back door. Really! It’s Mount Arayat in the Philippines.

2. Ron, I have just discovered your blog. It is now June 2014…..do you continue to write about your journey? The most recent post I read was recommended books. What you have available on your step-work is especially helpful to me now. I have been drinking the last 10 months after being alcohol free four years. I made a call to the local AA office and have found a meeting to go to….I need an actively spiritual recovery this time as I have been living in a state of fear far too long. I am grateful this day that I found your voice…God bless.
