I'm free!!!! And there is no better feeling than feeling free.
Congratulations marvellous milestoners. .. 24 more hours for me please xxxx

We do not learn to love in this sense.
We came as Love. We are Love.
Some of us are still catching up to who we truly are.

Smiles are contagious so keep Smiling
Go Forth and contaminate as many as you can!
Made me smile. Hope you have a lovely birthday xx

No more tears for The Unsuitable!!!!! He is not worthy of our Weav.

Here I’m for my regular check in 24 more for this alcoholic soul
Self-realization is not a matter of withdrawal from a corrupt world or narcissistic contemplation of oneself. An individual becomes a person by enjoying the world and contributing to it.
—Francine Klagsbrun
After we admitted our self-destructive patterns and gave them up, there were many days when we said, "Now what? Is that all there is? I need some answers. How should I live? How can I feel whole? How can I feel like a real person?" These questions may feel too painful to answer. These are among the first spiritual questions we encounter in recovery, and we must not hide or escape from them. They are valuable to us, and we need to follow their urgings.
We are asking these questions as if they were new and unique. But through the centuries many people have asked them too. They found answers we can learn from. They tell us to get engaged with life, take time for reflection, learn to enjoy it where we can, and try to make a contribution.
Today, I will listen to my questions and doubts as urgings from my Higher Power, pushing me to grow. I will be involved in living.

Hi all. I've had a good day, Got chores done, tried new tea room in town, it was lovely. But I am scared. I have been here so many times before; felt this good, cravings minimum, getting a life again, but then I've fallen.
I feel as if I am going to be pounced on anytime; I don't know how, when or by what. I know it is sensible to be alert to triggers and I am so desperate not to go back to the booze this time but I still scared of getting complacent.
I have just re read this and it doesn't make much sense, I just wanted to air how I am feeling. I am trying to do so much differently this time. Normally after over two weeks I would have abandoned this site and got on with my life. This time I am staying close. Even if I get to five year or so (hope hope hope) I will still check in here on a regular basis.
Thanks for listening. Have a nice weekend everyone.
