i hope and pray one day i will be at peace, and also with you
I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demons Finally content with a past I regret I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weakness For once I’m at peace with myself I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long I’m movin’ on
I’ve lived in this place and I know all the faces Each one is different but they’re always the same They mean no harm but it’s time that I face it They’ll never allow me to change But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belong I’m movin’ on
I’m movin’ on At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me And I know there’s no guarentee’s, but I’m not alone There comes a time in everyone’s life When all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’t Stopped to fill up on my way out of town I’ve loved like I should but lived like I shouldn’t I had to lose everything to find out Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road I’m movin’ on
Hey, wait for us, let's all move on together, never alone, never again...

As i've mentioned there are only 2 NA meetings in my town a week, so i rely on AA the rest of the week...
i was fortunate enough to have been given a ticket for our annual AA roundup for this weekend!!
thank you, thank you!!
I'm so excited. While walking home from a noon meeting i dropped off a couple of resumes...i was sure i had lost my ticket. I couldn't see myself calling to tell the group that i had lost it, was breaking my heart to think about..
it took me eating lunch....making popcorn, having a drink, having a smoke, finding something to watch on tv......blah, blah, blah, ok thats it i thought...i gotta look.
going from,,,,guess i wasn't meant to go...to...oh! Yeah!!!!! i DO have it:):)
Sometimes expectations don't lead to disappointment:)
I was chosen to get this ticket out of a few other people vieing for it. Grateful I am.
Speaking of grateful....
something i heard yesterday....
Be grateful and more things will come along to be grateful for.
i like it.
I remember the first time i heard an addict say they were "a grateful addict"
holy crap, i thought, they're really screwed up!lol
i understand it today.
That don't mean i like being an addict though!!
well, i'm off to get ready for my weekend, jeez, now that i think about it...just like old times, getting ready for a night out on the town, cept it got to the point...close to my many bottoms..where i didn't care what i looked like.
i do today, and i'm clean, i think i'll stay here
just for today, my thoughts will be on my recovery
I hope the days come easy and moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you want to go, and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but you never forget, all the ones who love you, and the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, and you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, and always give more than you take.
But More than anything, Yeah, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah.

Wendy, thank you so much for sharing what's happening in your recovery with us. And thanks for that powerful oneliner about gratitude. So true, and just what I needed now. Practising an attitude of gratitude always is rewarding, and has an amazing way of transforming me from being miserable about what is not there into being blissful and joyous for what is there. I love it when it happens, and for that reason alone, I have to consciously invite feelings of gratitude and not instead dwell in problems and suffering.
Wish you have a great time at the AA roundup. Glad that you got the ticket. Hugs and Love.
