in a post a short while back. I can't find the post but remember that it was great.

I think a lot of people could use that post right now. Can you help me find it?

Were those words in the title of the thread or something that was said in a post?

Maybe this one with Shooting Star's story in it?

Aww Boxer, thank you! Day 10 today, double freakin' digits!!

It was the gist of the thread title if not near verbatim. It said that all your feelings of failure and desperation and want and need and temptation and sorrow and grief...are temporary.

You hold the power to change your life. Don't give in to the despair. Hold your head up, straighten your back, and we'll walk forward with you.

It was a great thread, wherever it is.

I CAN'T REMEMBER! I'm old and addlepated from alcohol! It was a great inspirational thread.

I just know that you can't give in to the blackness.

Della1968

Yes that's the one Bim. I loved it!

We still love you Trach old and all.

trachemys

not the post I was thinking of but a powerful one.

Every day is a birthday. I am reborn at 2 or 3 every morning.

I don't lament growing. I lament the wasted time.

Secretdrinker

Haha, that made me giggle.

trachemys

Old and addled, yes. But the post I was referring to insisted that whatever momentary bad times you were going through would end. And the Original Poster is right. It will end. It will get better. Stop using or drinking and tough it out. As bad as the transition is...

Life gets better

There is someone on this forum that consistently says there is not a single problem that alcohol won't make worse. I've been thinking about that a lot lately because it is so true.
