I was reading a share from an online recovery group I'm in today, and the quote I put in the topic title was in the message.
It was exactly what I needed to hear today. Maybe it will help someone else too.
Don't quit before the miracle.
that's always been my pattern in the past - that's what I'm working on changing this time because nothing changes if nothing changes.
I like that Idgie!! Quite inspirational!! I can feel the optimism just in your writing. You're gonna make it!! :-)
Much love and friendship girlfriend!!

I like that too Idgie and a quote worthwhile to remember. (((( ))))
I've heard that one, yeah. Over hear they say, "Don't quit five minutes before the miracle," as well as a number of other variations, but it reminds me to always have Hope. THAT is something that was restored for me--along with laughter (not self-depricating but genuine) and compassion.

well i had a little miracle happen not long after I posted this
went to a meeting and my ex-sponsor was there. Made my day.
I hadnt'contacted her yet - mainly cause of ego and pride, but my HP took care of that and placed her in my path anyway.
Also I have a new sponsor - well actually 2. A f2f one and an online one. Lots of miracles.
Stacey - drop me an email when you have a minute - Vally can give you mine if you don't have it.
