Hi all as one door closes another one opens but sometimes the door that opens is just as much of a nightmere the last one was lol. All the good doors are locked why? simply because our mind is locked, we fail to see new possibilitys we fail to see chances that are given to us, we are so wraped up on oh dear poor me etc that we never move on with life even after managing to stay away from mind altering substances. For me i got keys to unlock my future yep indeedie i do lol its called being positive even when things seem to go wrong. have a good day jaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good morning Jackie,
I agree with you. Staying positive and keeping a smile on your face makes everything better. Its easier to get thru the day doing it with a smile instead of a frown. That's not always possible to do though. Things happen that are out of our control, well life happens is what I mean. Just comes and slaps us in the face and its then that we have to really struggle to stay positive. This board has helped me so much over the past few days to find a reason to be positive. All the love I've been shown is what has kept me smiling instead of crying. There are so many wonderful people here and you are one of the best of them Jackie. I admire and respect you so much. Just wanted you to know this.
Best wishes and I hope that your day is good.
Love,
Sharon

Hey sharon cute father christmas. And your right its so hard sometimes but the more positive i become the easier things are well at least untill PMT arrives that is lol then no amount of positivity helps that one lol but i manage.

A special thx goes to little H who is alwasy here when i need her xx jaxxxxxxxxxxx

Jaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Just remember that behind each door is a lesson learned. Have a great day! Atlas
good morning. :-)
you are absolutly right.
We , as addicts, tend to see negative things first in our lives because we are so used to feeding off of negativity as a way to justify our using drugs.. that when something positive happens.. we tend to not see it.
it is hard to get out of that mind set.
That mind set was a comfort zone, a self created enabler... that it just FEELS right to feel negative.
Smile, skip when you walk, giggle at silly things..
remind yourself that things SHOULD feel GOOD , things SHOULD go right and you deserve opportunity.
Have a good day!! :-)
> smiles.. and skipps away <

ah now then i dont mind the smiling but my skipping days are well and truly gone lol. Its so nice to see happy people jaxxxxxxxxxxx
So true...it comes down to the attitude you choose to start your day with..I often hear negative thoughts snowballing in my headt and I say "STOP!"Our thoughts can (and do) manifest themselves...so we must think good, positive thoughts.Sharonn
Ahhh my eyes are just opening but I wanted to make sure I said good morning to all,If I dont talk with yous(yeah right)I hope you ALL have a great Thanksgiving,filled with lots of laughter,good food,& alot of love....mj
I WOKE EARLY ONE MORNING,
THE EARTH LAY COOL AND STILL,
WHEN SUDDENLY A TINY BIRD,
PERCHED ON MY WINDOW SILL.
HE SUNG A SONG SO LOVLEY,
SO CAREFREE AND SO GAY,
THAT SLOWLY ALL MY TROUBLES,
BEGAN TO SLIP AWAY.
HE SANG OF FAR OFF PLACES,
OF LAUGHTER AND OF FUN,
IT SEEMED HIS VERY TRILLING,
BROUGHT UP THE MORNING SUN.
I STIRRED BENEATH THE COVERS,
CREPT SLOWLY OUT OF BED,
GENTLY SHUT THE WINDOW,
AND CRUSHED ITS FU.. HEAD.
IM NOT A MORNING PERSON.
Kinda sums me up lmao jaxxxxxxx

Hey DeNae...How is school going...haven't heard from you in awhile.Is everything ok? Love S
Hey Sharonn! Yes, everything seems to be sailing right along. My classes don't start until January. I'm looking forward to it, but scared at the same time. I'm trying to set boundaries in my life and make things simpler. I can already see a positive change. How about you? How's life treating you these days? I've missed talking to you.
Love,
DeNae
