Thank You! Yesterday was awesome


I've been feeling pretty down, found out I've been betrayed once again in a 4 year relationship once again ended it. I dont hurt as much this time. Realizing we both have 2 different sets of morals.

I've been looking for a sponsor an getting finding rejection, one of the 3 groups I attend the leader was upset at me an showed it during the meeting because I approach her before letting her know the same member 3weeks in a row not only cross talked but did so putting the new member down an they did want to come back.  this was also the first group I ever attended an they did not give me any phone numbers yet Ive seen them give other new members numbers. 

ive been on speed dial with my HP, came here a few days ago looking for support, (awesome, wonder, people here full of wisdom) I learned more here in the last few days then I have in the last 2 months at meetings.  So last night I went to 

a new meeting, it's further 2 hour round trip, but I now have a sponsor (((Yah))))  We both agreed to give it a try, I'm 

excited, i feel comfortable around her.  Then the icing on the cake.  on the way home there's huge bare mountain all along the

columbia river. of course it's dark, I look up, there's a huge brightly lite cross on one of the mountains, I've driven that route many times over the last 20 Years I've never seen it. I stared in disbelief mouth open, thinking Ive never seen that there before, almost like it was My HP saying, I'm here, I care, I'm guiding you, keep up the trust, faith an hope.  I kept staring at the cRoss expecting it to disappear, but it didn't.  I had to share, feeling inspired!  Thank you again for all your inspiration

Last night I was trying to tell everyone at the meeting about this message board an how wonderful it is, but I could nt remember the name, miracles in progress, I won't forget now.

Love that you shared your experience. What a gift when you can see something and sense it is your HP's direct message of love for you.

It may sound strange to say but when one has gone most of their life with little to none

support, life skills, encouragement, from family (their lack of knowing how to give) then finds

complete strangers so willing to help, feels like people here genuinely care.  Im very 

grateful, its like having a family that helps each other.

And you are an important part of this family, NP. We aren't perfect and we're getting there one day at a time.

Thanks Grateful2be

your last comment caught me off guard. I must feel safe here.  I'm  generally a very emotional person, cry easily  the last

few months I've become very guarded.   I was beginning to think I forgot how to cry, your caring comment brought unexpected deep burning healing tears. : )

I'm happy to see that you are letting affection and care for you in, sister. You are doing a wise thing in walking through doors of different rooms and find the place where you fit. Sounds like you've found this room as a place to come and stay awhile - not as others would have you to be but as you are - and that is a very good woman from what I've seen here. Keep coming back and being you. Glad you're here.
