Believe I can make it. Believe I am worth it.
We all knew it but that really wasn't the point. Now the only person that mattered knows it.

Which was pure hell. And as fast as they came. They are gone. I would any other time. Entertain the thoughts a little. Not anymore. That breeds temptation. Its kinda cool actually. I dont even know how I am pulling that one off. But it works. So I am not even going to question that one.
I posted here 4 months ago the last time I almost drank. I didn't drink that day and when I got home I called my sponsor and told him how close I had come and how I had fought the craving all day. He said "I don't even entertain the idea." Trish like you when the thought comes I dismiss it so fast it doesn't even come close to a craving. It's gone so fast I don't have to fight it.
Now Trish you may not know how your pulling it off and that's ok. You don't have to believe in my HP. She's helping you because she loves you. (Sorry but I have to give props to my HP).
Thanks for making my day.
