To Believe...
Author Unknown

To believe is to know that every day
is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen,
and dreams really do come true.
To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
and the wisdom of the man in the moon.
To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
for it is through their teachings we learn to love.
To believe is to find the strength
and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.
To believe is to know we are not alone,
That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.
To believe is to know that wonderful surprises
are just waiting to happen,
And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.
If only we believe.

Ooooh, how I empathize...I can feel your pain, because I have experienced it so often over the past 30+ years. I think you know that all three of my children are addicts...not surprising, since they "inherited" the gene from their Dad and me. My 52 year old son is currently in a VA hospital/rehab with 10 months clean and sober...my 44 year old daughter is clean and sober through NA for about 10 years...my middle child (son who turned 51 yesterday) is still drinking, but no longer using heroin. I guess 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

Believe me, I often despaired...but, somehow I knew, as long as I didn't give up and kept the faith, there was always hope that their Higher Power would step in and do for them what I could not. There were times I wished I could assume the pain they were going through...Mom's tend to want to spare their children from suffering. But, of course, I had to believe as my own sponsor often told me, "No pain, no gain."

I'm hoping and praying for you and yours that one day soon you'll perhaps change your user name to "daughterrecovers".

Sorry you are having such a hard time PR, in my thoughts and prayers.

k, my Mom's been gone for years, but you remind me so much of her. Loving, caring, concerned. She would've loved sharing with you. :chatter

Sometimes I can't come up with the right words, but usually I can hunt down a meditation that expresses it better than I can.........

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

The hopeful man sees success where others see failure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm.
--O. S. Marden

When wise men say, "Hope springs eternal," they are reminding us that no matter how great are the obstacles, the hope of winning out in the long run still exists. Hope is our friend when all else has failed. When we have strength of character and an energetic mind, hope always flourishes.

We discover that, at the very brink of despair, we will find courage to keep trying as long as there is hope for success. After all, what have we got to lose? Without hope, we have no chance, anyway. Our chance for glory comes when we keep trying even though all seems lost. Our hearts remain strong and brave when hope reminds us that challenges last until a game is over.

What light of hope can I keep burning within me today?

I wish I had the words to give you some comfort. The feelings and emotions we have are hard. Know that you and AD are in my thoughts and prayers, and I understand how you feel--helpless. But, I do believe there is always hope, where there is life! She is there, covered up, but there. We have to have faith and hope.

"Love never gives up hope, never looses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance" 1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT

The title of a recent book I read says it all "Just Love Her".

love, hugs and prayers my friend,
susan

I wish you and your family all the best. You are such a wonderful person. I am so sorry you are going through this right now. I do understand all that you are enduring and just know that you will get through it, we are not givin more than we can handle, sometimes it just feels like it.

First I will apologize for only reading the first post from this and giving you all the blessings that can come your way.

Hope!

Oh my....

I thought everyone had given up on this addict!

I lost my family, (wife, children, dog, etc house, job, business, etc)

I almost lost my life....many people here remember my struggle with getting time clean.

Hope....

As long as we are not dead....

we have hope.....

Hope is never ending...

Hope is only the beginning....

Oh that rhymes.

:praying
