Good Morning!!!!!
it's a brand new day!!!!!!
don't forget, we can start our day over anytime..or many times.
Look in the mirror...tell yourself...
i am beautiful
i am worthwhile
i forgive you
i love you
i can do this
i know this is hard...its the hardest thing i ever did...getting clean and sober...not to mention this mirror work.
When you feel down..or want to beat yourself up...do your mirror work
the more i do it, the easier it gets
the more i do it, the more i believe it.
we're not bad people, we're sick people trying to get better...thank God we don;t have to be perfect!!
Smile...soon enough it becomes a true heart smile
beauty is all around us but for some reason some days we choose to see the negative, the ugliness. quit it!!!
we are alive!!!
we have breathe
sight
movement
the ability love
would you beat up your best friend???
treat yourself like your best friend...especially in the dark times.
If this disease was after your best friend what would you tell it.?

when you feel like using...make a gratitude list, do some mirror work
you are worth the fight
don't give up!!!
hugs & hugs

Cheryl,
Please take one day at a time. I care what happens to you. Please try to let what is bothering you go. Keep the faith.

Thanks for helping me along everyone..I'm just crawling now but soon I'll be back up on my feet. I'll take a few trips to the knees to gain my strength. This is not a rush and get there immediately ride. This is a journey with many places along the way: our emotions, feelings decisions,etc. It is about what we do with what we have and the things that happen in between. But isn't this the stuff that really makes life worthwhile?
