Hey Scott I was wondering how you were since we spoke on the phone. Well, It's always worse in our head than how it actually turns out. One of my favorite quotes, which up until now I thought was a Churchill quote is this one:

I have known a great many troubles,
but most of them never happened.
Mark Twain

and here's a few more. when you need inspiration google quotes on any topic. Churchill and Lincoln can't be beat for troubles and desperatation.

"If you are going through hell, keep going." - Churchill

edit: looks he did say it

"When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened" - Winston Churchill

Nothing lasts forever not even your troubles.
Arnold H Glasgow

If a man could have just half of his wishes,
he would double his troubles.
Benjamin Franklin

If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you.

Calvin Coolidge

If you compared your troubles, or challenges, with those of others, you would surely find that there are those whose troubles make yours look like minor inconveniences.
Catherine Pulsifer, from Cheer

Troubles, like babies, grow larger by nursing.
Lady Holland

Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles.
Maltbie D. Babcock

I would not leave you in your times of trouble. We never could have come this far. I took the good times, I'll take the bad times, I'll take you just the way you are.
Billy Joel

Drag your thoughts away from your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it."
Mark Twain

Trouble is part of your life - if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.
Dinah Shore

Aloha Scott...stay in the program and more miracles will show up. It sounds like
you are willing to be responsible without being irrational or unfair. That was and
still is recovery for me. I had to remember to "practice the program in all of my
affairs" as the 12th step mentions. That reduced the number of affairs I was
having also. LOL

Phheeewww! Thank Goodness, Scotty. I spoke to you in chat too at that time & it was dark, real dark! I'd never known you to be quite that way before & it had worried me. I'm glad your load has lightened & that you stayed sober throughout. The whole point came through too & that was to be able to see your son & that we can't put a price tag on no matter what's arranged. I'm glad it's worked out for you. Hopefully this ordeal will be a good experience of faith at work & you'll learn that no matter how dismal something seems from the onset, that shining silver lining will come through when we sit tight long enough. I hope sobriety keeps on growing & getting better for you, Scott. How's your sponsorship going, my friend? Danielle x

Scott, I am so very happy for you. You can now breath a big giant sigh.... wow.

I wanted to say that I absolutely love your saying at the bottoms of your signature. It's one of the best I have seen!
