Good morning.
The boss that sign my check is here no good.
Please 24 more for this alcoholic.
Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem.
—Richard J. Foster
As we have reached for instant cures, one-minute answers, and quick highs, we have developed lifestyles that foreclosed deeper possibilities. For instance, when we fail to stay and resolve conflicts in a relationship, we miss the joys of a renewed understanding. Our spiritual development comes in steps, small but meaningful increments that build over a period of time. Many of us have not been patient men and our newfound spiritual life is teaching us that the quickest, most efficient answer isn't always best.
Today, our greatest temptation may be to grab for the fast solutions rather than allowing time for small but important steps to occur. When we are frustrated, it will help to remember the difficulty may lie in our insistence on a quick answer. Sometimes simply being true to ourselves and standing as a witness while the answer develops are all that is asked of us.
I will have faith that time is on my side and it will teach me valuable things.

As you know.... some days i just sit here... especially days like today when i can hardly leave the room. Partner is poorly so every hour have to adjust his chest drain and give meds, injections etc..
Anyway... there is only so much daytime television a girl can take. I obviously listen to a LOT of music and read quite a bit. I have also started studying again. But days like today.. i have spent hours on SR... reading/ learning/ just staying sober really.
Every day i read the newcomers posts..and so many times i can relate to... or have been through stuff they are posting about. ... and i think back to all who replied to me back in the Summer. So many wise people.. ( many on this thread).
I really want to put days like today to good use... and have dipped my toe in replying to a few. Or just offering hugs or support.
Guess what i'm trying to say is.. should i ?? Do i have the right ?? I'm only just 7 weeks in after my last meltdown.. and when i reply ..even just to say Hi, i feel like a fraud as i haven't got loads of time under my belt. As my profile says... just a bit of a wally really. Would hate to be seen as some kind of sycophant.. when i really do like helping or just being a mate to someone. Blimey, i sound insane. Hope you kinda get what i'm babbling on about.
