Today my meeting topic was hope.

Many people come to meetings hopeless and looking for answers to helped their loved ones. The topic today focused on how we can have hope for ourselves and strength to change what we can inside.

Having hope to me means that I'm not giving up on my own actions. I'm learning how to detach with love and live my best life.

I will always hope for my addicted sister and exabf to find their own way.
I no longer feel hopeless because I don't know what will happen. I do know that I will have the strength and support to act each day in a loving way.

I also hope the people attending my Saturday meetings will keep coming back to share their experiences as well as hope for those who continue to post here. I hear something I need to keep me going each week.

I used to confuse Hope with Expectations, hoping my son would get clean and then watching him like a hawk.

He has been missing over 3 years but today there is hope in my heart, in a special place right next to faith. I have seen too many "hopeless" addicts recovery and lead a healthy productive life, to ever lose hope that my son can find his way to recovery one day too.

As long as there is a breath in my body, I will never give up hope.

If you don't have hope what would you have ?? Sometimes I say " I wish she would get clean " but I think I should replace that with ' hope'

That's why I like going to meetings.

To me they're kind of psychic.....
they ALWAYS cover a topic I need to hear on that exact day!

I have lots of hope, but I found if you mix that with faith it works a bit better.

Hope was the only thing I had left when I quit drinking almost seven years ago.

Just wanted to share that with you. Hope is a good thing.
