Sometimes we have those little moments, a minute in time that warms our hearts with our addicts.

Last night as we put all the kids in bed we laid in our bed with our 2 and a half year old between us. AH laid there and from the memory of eharinga s a child recited Goldilocks and the three bears and Three little pigs, complete with voice tone and tickles. It was such a warm and endearing moment.

Please share your warm nice minutes

Awww, that is indeed a warm story and how wonderful for the kids to be part of it.

I don't have kids at home and my addict son is gone, but I have two groundhogs (Digger and Dug) who live in the forest next to me and have been coming to visit on my back deck where they discovered seeds that have fallen from my bird feeder. Dug checks out the area, while Digger hides under the deck next door and then signals her that it's safe and stands watch while she eats.

Don't tell me that groundhogs don't fall in love.

Warm Hugs

i woke up in the middle of the night to my rah showing me his new wedding band that he bought for himself, i always thought that he didn't want no one to know that he was married, when he always told me that he didn't wear one cause he kept losing them to the pawn shop and i never believed him. i let that go yrs ago, and started detaching from this man who didn't want nobody to know that he was married to me, just to be puzzeled by him getting clean and buying a wedding band. could have been manipulation but at least he's wearing one now and its been most of the marriage that he didn't.

Spent last night with Dear friends sharing Passover Celebration which I enjoy tho I am not Jewish. We all read from a book on how to conduct a short Seder. The candles were lit and everyone was at the table.. and it was a moment of peace.

I could not help but think how lucky I am to have all the people who were in that room in my life.

PS: Teke! How could you not be a friend? You try to help us all!

Well Michaels birthday party was saturday. While at the party I mingled, laughed and everything but at moments I would feel someone watching me. When I would look across the room it would be my abf staring at me, and when our eyes locked he was the only one I could see.

My husband and I actually had a beautiful night last night. He is starting to feel better (finally--tomorrow, he is 30 days clean!). He has been taking anti-depressants for a little over two weeks as well, so I think those are starting to kick in. We spent a couple of hours lying on the couch together, talking, laughing, and just enjoying being in each other's arms. It's the first time in a long time we've been physically close like that.

It's really special watching him come back to himself, remembering why I love him, remembering all the things about him that first attracted me to him. He's starting to look like himself again, to take care of himself...he always used to be something of a dandy, and in the last year or so he'd really stopped dressing nice and taking care of himself.
