Come on people let's get real... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Come On People

Let the sick and surfing people out there know that recovery works.

I’m tired of all the negativity.

Lets hear some positive thoughts.

Remember…To keep it you got to give it away.

Every morning I wake up I thank my Higher Power for giving me another twenty four hours clean and sober… And am grateful for that…Moments like today I feel so Humble…It just a great feeling to be able to put my thoughts into perspective. Today I live life…My sponsor said this once to me…You Fall In Love With Life…But Then You Have To Marry Death.

Great post. This has been a great week for me. Another week of sobriety. Met some new people who need help getting sober. Weathers been beautiful. Things are working themselves out. Darn near a miracle.

You can have this if you want it. It's worth having.

Brewster…

I don’t know if you ever had the pleaser to meet Trish AKA Miracle.

Things are working themselves out. Darn near a miracle.

Miracle ( Trish ) She had a big input on me being clean and sober today.

Brewster thank you through you she is saying hello TB keep up the good work…Am proud of you.

Look at the thread I started on 4/13/04 you will then understand.

Damm I cant stop crying…The Miracle of recovery.

When I saw your post I was in kind of a funk. I thought, this guy's got it right. And I took a moment to think about the week. You helped me break my stinking thinking.

Miracle gifted us both today.

I'll be researching the references. Thanks for the inspiration.

Because I'm clean and sober, I'm able to accomplish the things I want to, instead of letting everything fall away.

I usually post in friend and family, but Ivan's post struck a chord with me.Over the past 6 months I have been battling 2 demons, the one that keeps me clean and the one that won’t give up on my BF. I have been sober since March 17th of this year. My BF has been sober since August 24th. It has been an uphill battle. I chose my sobriety and welcomed it with open arms. My BF did not. If you read through my posts on the other board you can see how down and out I was. I honestly don’t know what changed him but he remains sober seeking help to this day….

Funny….Today I have 7 months.

Thank you Time, I didn’t even realize.

SR, meetings and FINALLY being the one who is able to help someone else in their battle has helped me. I chose life 7 months ago and I am going to continue to.

Thank you again Time, I value your posts, especially this one.

Brewster…

Its not important, who, when and where. What is in important with out an open mind…And only with an open mind we will I receive the miracle ( the message ) of recovery.

I write and read so many threads and post here….For over three and half years I been coming here to SR…All it takes is the willingness to listen…Fear to have an open mind and the willingness to listen will send us to a early grave.

I don’t know how to explain it…Am not that intelligent…But am intelligent to understand this…

If I was dying of thirst and you offered me the last glass of water on earth…Would I take it…No…With an open mind I would drink halve of the glass of the water…Think about it.

Have you figured it out yet…No…Don’t worry I didn’t ether…But what did it do… It made you think…You had an open mind experience…You was willing to figure it out.

That’s what recovery is all about…An open mind and the willingness to listen.

Today am grateful…My higher power of my understanding has put you in my life for a reason…And because of that…I have had another spiritual awakening. And another day clean and sober.

Thanks
Ivan
