A Vision for NOW
Imagine a world living as one, as John Lennon imagined; and each person living comfortably with themselves, as envisioned by the 12 steps of recovery.
Like John Lennon, I'm just another dreamer who hopes that "the world will live as one". I am a man, somewhat sensitive although not inclined to show it. I cried spontaneously when I heard that John Lennon had been murdered.He holds a special place in my heart. His wonderful spirit and his vision live on forever.
My vision is two-fold:
The World Living as One
In 12 step groups I have personally witnessed a little of this vision of the world coming together:
- People are welcomed into 12 step recovery programs regardless of race, creed, background, colour or religion. No one, whatsoever, is discriminated against.
- Neither the despair of criminal conviction, nor the pinnacle of academic accomplishment deter members of 12 step programmes from coming together in the mutual hope of recovery.
You Living at Peace with Yourself
I pray that you find your own freedom and happiness, living your life in peace.

John Lennon expresses what I am trying to achieve with this site way better than I could ever hope to put into words...
Imagine - John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
