"Giving up an ...OLD FRIEND ..."



"GIVE UP THE GHOST"

GIVE UP THE FRIEND
GIVE UP THE HOST
GIVE UP THE LOVER
YOU LOVE TO LOVE MOST

IN THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT
BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
IN THE DARKEST CORNER
OF THE LONELIEST OF ROOMS

WHERE DARKNESS ONCE LIVED
IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR HEART
WHERE YOU CAN NOW FIND THE COURAGE
TO BEAR LIGHT OVER YOUR DARK

BY FOCUSING ON YOUR ACTIONS OF CHANGE
WITH EVERY THOUGHT'S PURPOSE BEING ONE TO RE-ARRANGE
THOSE DEADLY PATTERNS WHICH HAVE TAKEN YOU HOST
BY MAKING YOUR RESOLVE ......TO GIVE UP THE GHOST

GRACE

.....for sooooo many years I couldn't see how "baby steps" would actually get me to where I wanted to go in life .....and if they could, it was going to take WAY TO LONG !!!!!! AHHH!!!!!

Ah..... the agony of an addicts impatience! .....geeze, I guess we have all probably worked our magic on exersising this particular quality.......anyways...

...... the thing is,(as I am beginning to see), that life simply IS .....JUST A BUNCH OF "BABY STEPS" .......Alcoholics, Addicts, housewife....lawyer, doctor .....we all share the same end......it's how we're going to get there that differs......

EVERY LAST ONE OF US ON EARTH HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT LIFE WILL THROW AT US NEXT..... ALL ANY OF US CAN DO IS TURN OUR FOCUS INWARD .....TO THE VERY THOUGHTS THAT WE ALLOW TO LINGER IN OUR BRAINS .......THESE ARE THE THOUGHTS THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR NEXT CHOICE....WHICH WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE AS TO THE OUTCOME OF THAT CHOICE ......AND ON AND ON.....AND THERE YOU HAVE IT .....YOU' VE JUST LIVED YOUR LIFE!! AND THERE YOU ARE ON YOUR DEATH BED AND SOMEONE SAYS ......

"TELL ME THEN .....WERE YOU HAPPY WITH YOUR CHOICES?" ......I CAN ONLY HOPE....THAT FOR ME.....(past regrets aside)....THE ANSWER WILL BE "YES"

THANKS FOR LISTENING
GRACIE

RE: "Giving up an ...OLD FRIEND ..."


Nice Gracie !!!!


Part of my 10th Step each nite is looking at thoughts and feelings !!!!


Take this one=


Im sitting in a Travel agent getting tickets .


Then is see a funny look on the lcerks afce and look where she is looking.


I see a face outside the glass front and a hand coming up and throwing a big stone.


And I have a thought


"oh nOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,m,,,,"


and im feeling terrified.


Tha passed and ther was intense anger at that anti social...


Someone could have gotten really hurt !!!That glass front just caved in and could have cut the clerk that was itiing out front real bad !!!


And as i was walking back home after that,,my mind went back ther .


And i had a thought


"I wsh we could have acught that m############### and beat the shit out of him "


i was feeling real rage here !!!!


An eventful day indeed and a chance to look at thoughts and feelings in a new context.



( first time a weird thing like this has happened to me ))))


Thank God neither me nor others were hurt,, but all of us were real shocked !!!
