Sometimes being part of the recovery community has a very sad side. I've just heard that an old friend of mine lost her battle today. Same age as me with 2 daughters. Another one gone to this ba$tard (sorry) addiction.
Dig deep everyone please. We CAN do this together

Oh jo, I am so sorry love.

We are blessed to be among the survivors honey. And we are WAY more than surviving: we are living our lives. We are doing our best.

God bless your friend and her family....may she rest in peace.

If not for the grace of God go I.

Hi I have a marvellous Sunday evening great dinner with a lovely kind and beautiful lady and her husband.
Is I don't complain about what I don't have life is pretty good.
Loving sobriety who knew eh!
Please another 24 more please.



To have one's individuality completely ignored is like being pushed quite out of life. Like being blown out as one blows out a light.

—Evelyn Scott


We need to know that we matter in this life. We need evidence that others are aware of our presence. And thus, we can be certain that others need the same attention from us. When we give it, we get it. So the giving of attention to another searching soul meets our own need for attention as well.

Respectful recognition of another's presence blesses her, God, and ourselves. And we help one another grow, in important ways, each time we pay the compliment of acknowledgment.

We're not sure, on occasion, just what we have to offer our friends, families, co-workers. Why we are in certain circumstances may have us baffled, but it's quite probable that the people we associate with regularly need something we can give them; the reverse is just as likely. So we can begin with close attention to people in our path. It takes careful listening and close observation to sense the message another soul may be sending to our own.

I will be conscious of the people around me. I shall acknowledge them and be thankful for all they are offering me.

Thumbs up

Very sad to say, after some news from my daughter, I drank last night. I should have come here instead after listening to her. But, here I am in for 24 hours and trying to count my blessings, instead of my sadnesses. Thank you all for being here.
