It will all be ok in the end...
 

Some say John Lennon said this, some say not...but regardless of who said it, I believe it.

I look back at my worst days of active addiction, of pain and loss, or fear, when I thought that things would never change...and I realise looking back that they did change and give way to something better.

Things very rarely turned out the way I thought they might, but they always turned out in the end.

Have faith and stay strong guys...keep moving forward, keep doing the next right thing...we'll all get there in the end :grouphug:

Thanks Dee, inspired by this post!

Thanks D. Inspiring post. While I've not posted very much during my ~10 years on here, I've observed, and I've seen you as the glue that holds this community together.

Thanks, Dee.

Thanks Dee. :) I needed to hear that again. :hug:

Thank you Dee, I love that quote. And thank you for being a remarkable person who helps so many, me included.

Your post reminded me of another quote from Julian of Norwich which is similar and I try and keep it in mind. ''All shall be well, all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well"

Thanks Dee, for this post, and your omnipresent support to all on SR.

We appreciate you !

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

You've always said just the right thing - ever since I first came here. Thank you so much, Dee. :hug:

In early sobriety our son bought a magnet for the fridge that says this same thing. So true. He marked 13 years day after his 30th birthday in September.

I love the line in Lennon’s song that tells us, “there are no problems,only solutions”. 🌌💙 It’s a challenge to live this simple idea though. Something to strive for each day.

Too true 🙏

Thanks Dee - great words. Came at a good time too :)

Thank you D for sharing this quote ❤

Moving forward is exactly what my problem is. I don't know what my next steps are in life. I've been stuck when I got out of rehab 10 years ago. Definitely one reason I turn to alcohol.

Thanks.

All the angst and worry, the fear, it does no good.

🙏🏻

Thanks Dee

Regardless of whats going on in the world. drinking is really a vote for the status quo.
I hope things will start to open up more this next year WL - bringing with it lots of opportunities for those wanting to change/move ahead.

I believe it xx

I must admit some of the worst days of my life were withdrawal from alcohol. Physically it wasn’t a major problem, but I remember feeling utter despair thinking that every evening would bring that anxiety and craving. As we all know or will hopefully find out, thankfully things improve within a few weeks.
