dsam,
I just want to say I agree with you and Bish in different ways. Much respect to you both. I am new and am learning so much by reading your posts (and others), and letting them digest. Religion/Christ means different things to different people but I think I can say :), that it all means love. That is all I wanted to say. I am not disagreeing with anyone or arguing. I just want to say I have been helped so much by all on this board and thanks to you all. I would name all the names who help but there are too many! Ex: Cowgirl, August, Ladybug, Sharon, Bob, Falcon, Kitten, Crystal, Nikobear, etc. Please do not be offended if your name is not here, it is 4:00am lol. And I am afraid I would leave someone out. LOL (Lupus fog, but no excuse) Just take care everyone and you people have helped me, a newbie, so much with your knowledge and insight. Thanks. All of your words have touched me in the time I have been on this board.
PS Bish, so glad your daugter is going to be ok.
Love,
Angel3 (not to be mixed up with Angel.....Mitzy, no offense to her.) :)

hiya angel -
i love your concept of your Higher Power - Love!
when i first came to this spritual program of recovery, it was difficult for me to wrap my brain around the God concept. like you, i chose to make the Power of Love my Higher Power.
to my amazement and awe, angel - the longer i stick around and continue to view the world through the eyes of love, more is revealed! ;)
thank you so much for your message of nurture.
it's so good to hear from you.
peace -

Dsam....You mis-interrupted my post.I'm not leaving.Normally over the course of the past year or so I have sought out and posted on many recovery boards.Lately I've been only concentrating on this site.
Just as no two Na or AA meetings are the same,no two recovery message boards are the same.There are many interesting people in recovery and I like to meet as many as possible.By visiting many recovery sites I am able to witness new insights to addiction and watch as newcomers to recovery learn to grow.
Have you ever been to a meeting where you know just about word for word what others have to say?I guess that's why newcomers are so important to any meeting.I try and keep my recovery fresh and exciting and visiting and spending time at other sites helps me to do that.

dear bish -
whew! i'm so happy to hear that misinterpretted your message! thank you for clearing that up for me.
yes - absolutely i agree that no two message boards are not the same. i enjoy meeting new people in recovery too and like to think that my mind is now open enough to appreciate the person whose message i am reading.
hehehe - and another yes - just like in some "live" meetings, i have heard the same things from the same people for quite some time. a very wise man once said to me on a message board forum one day that he always writes what he needs to hear. after reading that statement, i began to look at some of what i was writing; i find i do the same. ;)
thanks bish for being here for me.

Hey, Bish, I am feeling a little loopy due to the chemo, right now, but I for one would wish for you to continue to inject your views on this board anyway you see fit. If your words (or mine for that matter) reach one person to help him or her in thier recovery, then in my mind we are successful. the older I get the deeper respect I have for men of your faith (and we are, after all, both Christians). I hope you will hang around. We need as many people who are living sober as we can get to help the others!
My word cannot be trusted to convey my exact meanings at the moment due to the chemo, but I hope that what I just wrote is clear enough. I'll be back to my old verbose self in a couple of days I am sure.
With all love, in Christ,
David
