Blue Sky, Thank you from my husband and I. I don't mean to sound harsh in my post to Angela but after 18 years of serving his country I would hate to think people actually think they are in war for nothing. Shantel

Shantel, Thank your hubby for me, too. Although I agree with you, I don't think Angela meant "nothing" nothing. It does seem like this war is never ending, and it would be great to see it come to an end. But my fear is, as soon as it does, another one is going to start..........

I have thought a lot about my hope for the New Year and I can honestly say......don't mean to sound too arrogant because there is always room for improvement, but my life is so good right now, I wouldn't change anything.

If I could have one wish fulfilled, I would wish that my children will remain happy and easy. Maybe a husband for my daughter, that would be nice. A good guy......nice, educated, sucessful. Yep, that would be it. I would love to have grandkids someday soon, so I would love to see her find the right guy and settle down. I guess I want that much more than she does. LOL She is in no hurry at all, but Mom is ready.

Happy New Year to all on the board,

Kikki, what an amazing spirit you have. All the replies have really got me thinking. Like Shantel, I am realizing that just stopping pills is not enough. I am neglecting and in many ways not being honest about my recovery.

I believe I may be an alcoholic. I think this year I may really have to come to terms with and surrender to the fact that it is true.

Thanks for making me honest and accountable, at least in who I am.

i think some times it can be hard for some of us to understand the war...
when we see all the beautiful young people that get killed ........

but i am very very greatful for our soilders......
so thankful that there are not words to say.............how much i appreciate their service for our country.........

so i understand now in my older years why people pray for peace.......

praying for peace is something is is always said/talked about , but i wonder how many people actually get on their knees and go before the Lord and pray for peace and our soilders............

My deepest hope. I hope that I keep working at my recovery and acceptance of that. So that if God should decide to send a special person into my life (A MAN PLEASE! lol) That I will not push it aside or underneath the rug. That I accept my recovery as a part of me so that when he comes into my life that I will share with him it's importance in my life.
Sending this out to the universe so that it may here my hopes. Thanks for those who listen.

The beautiful point I got out of your post Kee Kee is HOPE. Look how many of us have it now YEAY! We have hope to share.

Love,
Jane
