ya know I have been looking at quotes lately to see if I might be able to steal an oz of strength...some the works I have found are amazing and by ppl you would never imagine in fact where I was doing the joke hwere my facebook gets quotes and I use the word to help me thru the day. The nurses last visit was today my mother thinkk I still need further care and sinceI have been honest with my friends and loved one I don't feel any better thatn I did the nights I have tried to kill myself. How do ya make that go away?

"Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it." Tagore I like this quote thing might have to go from jokes to quotes? do ya'll like that idea?

There is much magic in words... they can enlighten, help, heal, enslave, wound, ellucidate, illuminate, castigate, vitiate, amuse, vex, enrage, comfort, kindle, confuse, endear, ennervate, encourage... the list goes on and on.
Manon, might I suggest a different view upon your feelings?
"...I don't feel any better thatn I did the nights I have tried to kill myself. How do ya make that go away?"
Simple answer: you don't. We can feel our feelings, no matter how uncomfortable, and get to the other side. As long as we don't get high or act out on those feelings, they will eventually pass. Nothing on this earth, good or bad, lasts forever.
I also suggest having some patience with yourself. Why wonder why we can't run like the wind, when not very long ago we couldn't even crawl???
We spent enough time trying to change the way we feel when we were using.
We were constantly searching for the answer that person, place, or thing that would make everything alright. We lacked the ability to cope with daily living. As our addiction progressed, many of us found ourselves in and out of institutions.

"vitiate"...wow Tisa...it's been a very long time since I've come across a word I don't know and I hadn't ever heard that one! Cheap thrills...thanks!
Manon, sure wish you felt better...hope you will soon. I admire your strong spirit and faith in keeping on-keeping on.
Christmas eve...thinking of everyone posting tonight, going to meetings, not using...and praying for those not posting, not going to meetings, and using.
