Well today ,Friday .then end of the work week for me plus payday always makes this a day to remind myself how greatful I am for all my blessings.For todays meditations and prayers for me I am including thoughts of our family here(MIP) who normally are very active and we havent seen for awhile.I am well aware how we tend to come and go but as addicts we still think'hope they didnt go back out.or hope everything is okay etc. (LIFE ON LIFE'S TERMS)All we can do is pray ,think positively and "leave the light on"Join me , if you will for a moment of thought ,prayer for those we havent seen in awhile and look forward to their return if that is God's will...TALK TO YOU LATER....

Good initiative here, to those of us from the Miracles in Progress Family who haven't shown up for a while here, I'd like to say something that an oldtimer once told me over a phone call when I stopped showing up - "We Need You!"
Glad you did this Mike, I joined you for a moment of silent prayer. I have posted in the past about people who come on the board, post actively for a few weeks or months and then are never heard from again. I miss them. I don't assume that they relapsed, but Polartorch said it well. I wonder if they realize that in fact we do need them. My sponsor often reminds me that "It's not about you" I wonder if people who have stopped visiting or posting understand how much they are missed. That sharing their recovery is not just for their benefit, but is a gift to the community of recovering addicts here at MIP.
