I am going to try today not to be negative. I have every opportunity to send positive messages on this forum. After all, life is too short to be negative. My Ah & I have had some trying moments lately because I have been so negative & took all my stress out on him. I am working on not putting him down & shattering his self-esteem. Yes, I don't have the power to do these things, but I am his biggest influence & he actually listens to me. Mostly when I criticize him. I am just so grateful that his sobriety has almost brought him to 6 years. I am looking forward to celebrating when the time comes. Sobriety is the most important part of any recovering alcoholics recovery. We as family member & friends can experience serenity. I for one cherish my serenity whenever I can get it. And, I don't even have to work for it. Isn't that something? I just have to show up, have faith, & there I am. Another thing, wherever I go, there I am. I am glad that you are all here. I don't always have a dynamic story to tell or real good words of wisdom, but I am here. I know you know that I will be here as long as I have breath. I hope you all don't mind! Ha! Ha!
Have a safe & happy weekend. It is now Sat. up here & I have every intention to stay positive.
Thank you Hoot. I think I need to practice that. History is history. Have to move forward. Perfection is not serentiy. We all have imperfections. Hugs ..Love this share. This was my food for a thought today!!!!!!!
