tryin' is good...doin' is even better!!

i never thought you would get to this day and gone so far in getting clean. i guess that came from the first time you went to rehab, after that i lost confidence but you've proved me wrong. for the first time in my life i'm glad to be proved wrong ---but you need to give yourself lotsa time and have lotsa patience and everything will come together...i know it will. my god look how far you've come in just a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hang in there wendy....it will all come together if you keep workin at it

I was talking to my Mom today...copied and pasted her words to me today...it';s her 58th birthday...i didn't even know how old she would be today...was kind of surprised. Where has the time gone?? Like i could forget....I am clean and sober today...and i refuse to pick up that first drink/drug today. I don't care what crosses my path!!!
i tried to quit..i tried to control drinking and drugging, nothing worked. I had to give up trying and just friggin' do it!!! My life has gotten better, if your trying my friends,,,,just do it!! Action, action, action. My new mantra. Not I think i can but,,,i can!!!!
Mom's words at the end of our conversation:

i wish you a good one and i love ya to pieces and miss ya even more. wish you were here today!

I miss my mom!!!!

The promises do come true...when i thought i'd lost those who meant the most to me....i took hold of sobriety with everything i have in my heart...before i completely lost myself. I will not let go!!!

Yes Wendy, the Promises do come true. Thank you for sharing your experience, strength and hope with us. And thanks for carrying the message the way you do,I'm  still catching up on posts from when I was gone, and you are an inspiration.


How is your Mom feeling? When does she see the Dr. again?


(((Hugs)))
