Facing a lot of challenges this weekend...
 

I am really struggling this weekend. I am on a roller coaster emotionally. I have been working so hard to try and get my life back on track, some of the ruin is my fault and I own it, some of it isn't, regardless it is really hard. One foot forward, two feet backwards. I am feeling low but I'm managing to stay sober and cigarette free but it is rough right now. I am praying that things take a turn for the better. It just feels so tough to get ahead. I'm scared and I have so many challenges to get past.

How do you keep the faith when things are hard for an extended period of time?

Alysheba I am here too and I note that you are online...hang in there lovely this feeling will pass I promise...we are all in this together and together we will get through the difficult times..sending lots of hugs and healing thoughts over the pond right now.....

You just do I think - I know it's not a very helpful answer but that's really what I did and still do in times of trouble.

I lean a lot on the support here, I pray and I keep the faith that in a day, or a week, things will be better.


As a not very patient person I really had to learn that virtue and be patient.

I've had a bad year healthwise - it's been difficult - but I found some help, did everything I was supposed to do,kept the faith and I'm getting better - I'm sure you'll find the same Alysheba :)

Thank you. That helps. I know we are often called to endure a lot. I am learning that I think I just have to take faith and gifts sometimes literally 5 minutes at a time. I'm so glad you all are here and thank you for taking the time to read and answer my post. It sure helps. xxoo

Did you read Lady Blue's post this weekend?

A night of chemical escape is not going to get us to her level - and that's where I want to be. :)

It's hard getting thru the tough times. But have a little faith in yourself, and the universe, that things will get better. :hug:
