My heart is in it

I have always been one to be very compassionate. Even as a child I always felt bad for homeless people, people with handicaps and people sick and dying. I guess that is why I chose the profession I did. I have been waking up every morning and saying a prayer for sobriety and help for all my new friends at SR. A few I am particularly concerned about. I have to learn when to walk away and let things happen they way they are suppose to happen. Just wanted to say you are all in my prayers. Day 20 today for me. I wouldn't have made it without you.

Good job on day two. Yea, I get concerned too but I know I can only control myself and my enviroment. I can care and still be careful I don't get sticky boundaries.

Twenty is awesome! Keep up the work. Faith is knowing I'm not in control and things WILL work out. I do the work and things fall into place. My HP can't hold a pen, or paper, or go where I can, but HP is with me.

Does that help you at all?

If I drive the car, HP is telling me the places to go.

I can relate - it's hard to see people drop out or relapse over and over (I'm not sure how Carol and Dee do it). On the other hand, a lot of people come back and some are still sober, just involved in their recovery in other ways.

I feel like this place was a Godsend - it may have saved my life.... who knows? It sure is making a difference every day for a lot of people.

Thanks for the post, for thinking of all of us and for being a compassionate person. Congrats on 20, too!!

Feeling better Fallow. I am still very tired all the time. I don't want to get out of the house much. I think if I was working I would me moving around and have more energy. Most times in the morning it takes me forever for my mind to clear. I know this will pass. Cravings are few. Over all, I am happy to be sober. Happy day 21

CWe didn't get here over night, we can't change over night, either.

Give Time time
