IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN

[irishlady]

Was doing a bit of surfing ( oooh, I like that, sounds cool ?? ) and found the following poem, I think it may help some people, it helped me...


If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but think you can't,
It's almost certain you won't.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.


Love, Louise xxx

Sorry Irishlady,

I forgot to say thanks and great idea to post it
How lovely your lime is looking today (is it a lime - I still don't know!)
And how can you be barking mad if you're a cat?????

Thankyou Irish,

Think the power of positive-thinking can spur us on in this battle. Am now AF 15 of last 18 nights, just because I told myself I could do it.

Much love,

Starlight Impress

There you go, just a few words at the right time and in the right order can work wonders ..

Yes Diamond, it is a lime, and barking mad??? somehow meowing mad doesn't have the same ferocity to it :H ..

Starlight, 15 days AF, now that is an achievement to be proud of, good for you :goodjob: ..

Hi!

Great poem and so true...

I'm MAKING myself think postive and have happy thoughts, and it's working, in the past a visit from my olds would send me on a binge for days, but feeling as if I've handled this one better than I ever have, thanks for letting me have a vent, and I'm feeling ok about things now, it's their problem, not mine anymore Im giving it all back to them, and my mantra is "Happiness and joy' say it to yourself everytime you have a bad thought, and soon you start feeling 'happiness and joy', it's helping me.....

Love Jas xxxx

Irish I love that,

I'm going to write it on a little card and put it in my purse.

Every little tool I can get my hands on is a Godsend at the moment. I've never ever been sober for 12 days in a row before and I'm loving it!!


Thanks,

Kitty

The only weakness there is is in not trying.

Thanks Irish. Positive thinking has so much power in it. I just need to remember that because sometimes it is easier to be negative. Thanks for posting, you mad dog you.
