SOME THOUGHTS

[Struggles 106]

Make a choice-
Up or down

Make a choice
Smile or frown

Make this choice
Laugh or cry

Make your choice
Live or die

If the choice is life-then do it right
Move ahead toward the light
Away from darkness
Don't turn back

Many people think it simple and may say why you posted a childish words here but it has a great reminder and power to me .If some one is aware with these words and for always s/he will never been a trouble again in rest of life.

There are always strengths in simple things,
Simple life style.
Simple and natural food.
etc..
Well thread .

SOME THOUGHTS

Hello Ann, I love the simplicity of those words. Wisdom often lies in just that - simplicity!

Hoping life is being kind to you

SOME THOUGHTS

All is well

Thanks free

All is well here. It's hard to be glum in the beautiful weather we are having now.

Day by day. Seems that I have become persona nongrata here for some reason.

Then again it could just be me. But I am OK

Very happy to hear you're ok Ann and that the sun is shining in your part of the world. Can you go with the ebb and flow on the persona nongrata thing? I find when I don't get too attached to outcomes/people's reactions to me, it gives me a little more peace within myself, whatever is going on around me. If I manage this then what I perceived at one time sometimes takes on a whole different perspective. Just a thought, but hope you can be your own best friend right now. Hugs :l

SOME THOUGHTS

AGREED

I do agree about not getting attached to outcomes/reactions. This whole journey is my responsibility; I know that.

I'm OK right now with the antabuse, but I have been looking into rehabs. I'm trying to figure out how it could ever be affordable. If I had 50K lying around I'd probably go to Malibu. But then who wouldn't?

[FreeFly]

SOME THOUGHTS

If you get that 50K can you smuggle me in your suitcase - a little trip to rehab in Malibu would do me just fine Stay strong honey and no judgement ok? Yes, we are responsible for our own journeys but we need to forgive ourselves too :l

SOME THOUGHTS

This is great! A little song so hum as we go through our day! I loved it!

SOME THOUGHTS

Thanks Dolphin

Hey thanks! I'm in NC too.

Though I wish it was not so, I have to fight every day for a good life for myself.

I certainly cannot expect understanding from anyone who is not in this same dreadful boat.

SOME THOUGHTS

Thank you Molly

It looks like my insurance may cover rehab-still checking. If not that then a good therapist and hopefully support here and elsewhere and renewed determination.

I intend to get back to my rigorous hiking tomorrow; I was on a good roll there. Exercise has always beena mood elevator for me.

I am thinking of starting, in my journal, a list of things that I forgive myself for-every time a memory pops up that is about the past-something stupid and awful that I did when I was drunk. This seems to me now to be important. Put it in the past and go forward with some real caring for myself.

I know for sure that I cannot continue to dodge the bullets of addiction. I am the only one who can make them stop. After all there are enough uops and downs to deal with without adding HUGE valleys to the peaks and valleys of life.

Thanks all
