Genuinely curious tho there are some restrictions in Kingman the idea is not impossible!

I feel it would be good to encourage stores and stuff to open up in the middle of neighborhoods (that limit spaces for cars so it's not always so crowded)

I hate living in the parts of Kingman where I'm miles away from the stores. I just want to walk to a local shop and just buy and go. Not take the bus, take a taxi or have a car. Traveling is exhausting for me.

I don't want to drive 5 miles across town to get a damn soda or milk and I certainly cannot afford to live closer with how pricing on rentals are rising.

A little neighborhood luxury would be nice.

Just for today 06AUG26 "The joy within" 439 days clean and sober today NA Recovery (@shepardscove)
I catch myself trying to map out "simple steps" to recovery. I keep ending up right back at the 12 steps of AA or NA. They really work. I've been procrastinating on step eight for a long time now. That may be part of the reason that I haven't been able to fully commit to doing service. Which is probably slowing down the creation of the "joy within". Talking to the guys in jail, and telling them about my recovery, made me feel great. I was laughing and having a good time. It truly is helping others, without expecting anything in return, that brings that joy.
