another gift - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

**historyteach** · 04-01-2006, 07:48 PM

Today, I wanted a cigarette.
Today, I found out that my friend, Trish, died from an overdose yesterday.
Today, I learned I do not have to smoke, even when times are grieveously difficult, and my emotions are in an upheaval.
And I thank Trish for one more gift.
I love you, Trish; I miss you.
I'll see you on the other side.

Shalom!

It is teaching me to tell those that I love that I love them. I love you, Teach.

It is sad when those enrich our lives are taken from us too soon. Teach, I am sorry for your grief. Thank you for sharing your loss with us. ((((Teach))))

Thank you, One Lady...
Trish continues to teach me, and to love me, from beyond...

Shalom!

I'm sorry for your pain and loss, and for that of those who knew her.
What a hard way for you to learn that lesson. I'm very sorry.

Webbie, Lavender;
Thank you both...
It is indeed a difficult way to learn that I can make it through. I'd rather be struggling with it than to learn this lesson. Gut, we don't get to choose our lessons.
Lavender, I'm going through hell, all right. I'll just keep on going... I like the signature line.

Shalom!
