I plan on spending my time staying focused on the good & definitely not on the bad. One of my friends who used to be in Alanon lost her dad on Thurs. She is a very specialy lady who always brings a smile to my face even though she is 900 miles away from me. She has a way about her that is contagious. I aspire to be more like her. Today she is handling her situation very well.
Boy, it has been a long road from there to here. But, I am on the right track--one day at a time. I hope someone out there finds some positive energy from this post. I spend a lot of time trying to help others on here while helping myself. Nothing will ever stop me from doing my best; not people places or things. I have HOPE that this road will continue to be positive & long-lasting. You all inspire me to be the best I can be. What other support group do I have that makes so much of a difference in my life? I have been in all kinds of 12-step programs & this one seems like the perfect fit! But, I don't have to convince anyone that they are right where they are supposed to be.
If you are sitting here at your computer, you are definitely in the right place. Posting is sometimes scary because we let our hearts hang out & our souls are so open. I have pretty much been myself--open since my first breakdown 27 years ago next month--exactly the time when I went to my first meeting. I was definitely ready for a change in my life. God knew it so He let me go through it. So, now I am on the other side.
Your post has given me the strength and hope someday I will be in a better place and have happiness again. I tried so hard to buck the system thinking my way was best.....I was wrong.
Thank you my MIP friend..
