Hi,
I'm checking in for my next 24! My hubby and the band are playing up in our local mountains tonight. Which means he'll be on the Freeways after the bars are closed, so extra prayers tonight.

The photo of me was taken in Dorado, Puerto Rico. We flew home September 3rd, before the first Hurricane. Then Maria hit the Island !! We vacationed in PR last year at the same time, but in Fajardo. It just breaks our heart.

Welcome love....I read your story, and I am so very glad you are here with us.

I just got married as well....literally last Sunday....to a fellow SR that I met right here on this thread.

Neither of us ever thought we'd stop drinking and have an opportunity to truly live....but here we are....

We do this together.

Please 24 hrs. More. For this neurotic alcoholic. Oh and freedom from self
erfra love ~ I like to tell my head "THANKS FOR SHARING".

Thinking you can tell that to the thoughts that no one cares about you....the truth is the polar opposite. We LOVE you....treasure you and appreciate you.....and every single one of us is in your corner.

Hi Efra,
Something I've heard in my meetings, applies to what you wrote. Basically here it is : We judge our insides on what we see in other's Outsides.
I love you, keep coming back Efra!

When people envy me I think, Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

—Barbra Streisand


A forest is full of many different kinds of trees--they are all sizes and shapes and shades of color. It is hard to imagine a pine tree wishing it was an oak. Or a fir tree envying the birch its white bark. Instead, each tree catches raindrops and reflects the sunshine in its own way.

We often find ourselves envying someone else. We think they have more money or more friends. We see them as better looking or luckier in some way than we are.

It is so easy to overlook our own gifts when we do this. We get fooled by what looks good and forget that all human beings have some weaknesses and pain, just like we do. Like the trees in the forest, we each have our own unique beauty and talents to offer. If we believe in ourselves, rather than envy those around us, we will grow green and tall in our own way.

What qualities do I have that someone might envy?
You are such an important part of this thread Efra. I envy the spiritual ness you bring about, and I hope to be able to live up to some of your posts some day.
