hi there, my friendly friends. just in a silly mood this evening, and free from a lot of usual unneccesary worries and stress. Have managed to give it to God today, and be grateful. Not always the case, but when these really GOOD days hit, when nothing special is going on and yet it is just so special to be alive.. these are the days that keep me going and trudging the road of sobriety.

I know some of you are sad right now, and/or depressed, and/or afraid, confused.... I just want those of you to know that I am thinking of you, loving you, and praying that the sun comes out again soon. So many of you help me so much day after day, and I just want to voice my gratitude for YOU.

What goes down must MUST come up, if sobriety is involved, so hang in there. The sun will come back out soon. Will keep the coffee on.

(((hugs)))
Joni

Thankyou, Joni xx I need some extra cares & prayers for my heart & soul right now. I've been sad this week & had some strange ups & downs which I am hoping to have levelled out soon. I'm not feeling well connected with my HP right now & when I'm like this I feel guilty for being vulnerable, imperfect & human. It aggravates my fear of rejection & abandonment. I have fear that I will be left for having a serious case of self pity when my boyfriend uses his program everyday & always manages to be happy. I'm subliminally jealous & fearful of losing him for when I'm small, needy, confused & dull right now. I hope to have my sunshining spirit back soon so that I can share the wealth of well being back with all in return. Thankyou all for your empathy & loving us, each of us, no matter where we are today. Keep on keeping on 1Day@aTime, Danielle x

Good Morning (from my side of the world's time) Danielle!!  ((hugs))
I'm not exactly sure why I get in these places sometimes, but I do know so far they have past.  And when I do share when I'm in this place someone always reminds of this from the Big Book:

"And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.  When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation--some fact of my life unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.  Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake.  Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy.  I need to concerntrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the would as on what needs to be changed in me and in my attitudes."

I can't say I always like hearing it and sponsor will usually ask if I've been keeping up with my daily 10th Step and I usually have not.  Pain can be a great motavator for me, so I just keep trying.

I'll keep you close in my thoughts and prayers!
 I Love You Flowers
