Today, I am not evil; I live by a code of ethics that can't be learned...either you have it, or you don't.
I am glad I can look myself in the mirror and know that I didn't backstab anyone today!
Today I am praying for God's will and praying for the willingness to see his will and the answers he provides....
I am trying to be a selfless person today and realize, it isn't all about Me...when I reach out to others that are hurting and struggling and offer a hand, I am doing his will and taking myself out of the picture...
For this alcoholic/addict, it is extremely important that I have faith and today I am working on complete faith that things are exactly the way they should be....
I also had a friend in recovery pop in here at work, we chatted for a bit, and I wished him a happy birthday as he has 60 days today....
I am going to make some phone calls today to some homeless shelters to see if my 3 kids & I can go and donate some time this weekend...
I'm going to call a few of my friends in recovery and see how they are doing as it isn't all about me anymore....
And tonight, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to hit a new women's meeting and if not, it wasn't meant to be....
Please pray today for those out there still suffering...I am so blessed today by having a HP who loves me, a family who loves me and friends who love me, and love my with my defects.....
xoxo

You say that you no longer pop 20 pills a day? But you are still popping pills correct? What are you doing to break those chains? You've made such great strides in helping yourself, but is it enough? When do we decide that we're done? For me, I'm never done. I have to work at this every day so that I never go back to that hell of putting pills in my mouth.
And of course there are those that just aren't capable. It's not thier fault, it's just the way it is.

Kerry, I'm glad I can say that too. There was a time that I couldn't. I hope you know that.

Lisa Id hate to think your actually trying to accuse me of abusing.As everyone knows I am on Sub,I may be on Sub for life.As far as that being that of course not.Im am doing & taking steps to improve my life as a whole person.I know that the addiction will always be waiting ready to try & take over but through TRUE friends,therapy,& what I need to do for me...I will continue to keep on looking ahead.
Littlebeach your SO right to know that people such as you & I dont back stab & stuff is wortjh more & your right you either have those values or you dont.Some NEVER will be able to be trustworthy & kind & they are the ones that deserve our pity,because how sad thier lives must be....

Did I say something wrong? I meant well. I wouldn't do anything to hurt any of you. I've been gone awhile and I don't understand what's going on. I was gone because of personal problems but I always thought of all of you.

M.J Its sad but there are so many people who are just plain IGNORSANT about suboxone.
People who live in chronic pain ? finally have something that can help a little bit for me. When i flair I suffer. But man the sub really helps with the arthritis in fingers and the Main reason is MY VOICE
M.J i am back on suboxone. I have more energy -able to work longer my throat pain is tolerable ---
shoot m.j just go to the pain boards--newest drug OPANA??
I cant take it. Ultram ? Nope --ibuphophen nope --anti inflams? Nope All offered to me recently.
I can take anything but Suboxone I am taking 8 mg a day. IT HELPS--
M.J Anybody that tells you your not sober? Guess you have to look at the messengers? I have run into a few of them telling me I am an idiot for going back on sub.
Well I was not sure what to do. I spoke to a few people and at least for now I am a sub addict--
M.J are there S.A meetings?
M.j you hang in there and just fugetaboutit --enjoy your day.
You will always run into ignorance. Remember the insanity while we abused and the difference in our lives today.
I am, so Blessed. I drove 6 hrs yesterday did a conference in Orlando. Boss said stay over--I hit Starbucks and drove home.
I have enough Music 6 c.ds to drive forever. Cool stereo system in my car.
If not on suboxone could never have done this trip. I was back in the office at 8:45 AM today.
Going to finish my Lunch
Hope your O.K
Just say the serenity prayer.
M.J I am so lucky to have found this doctor. M.J you said you may be on sub for life.
Worry about today tomorrow is another day. One day they will come up with something for us pain people that will be even better than sub. Until then?
I choose the sub
Feel good

You can only give others what you have inside of yourself. Therefore to give love away to others, you must cultivate love for yourself FIRST. Dyer uses the metaphor of squeezing an orange - asking you what comes out when you squeeze it. Most people answer, "orange juice" comes out. Why? Because that is what is inside. When humans are squeezed, what comes out of them is what they harbor inside of themselves. Harbor love, acceptance, joy, confidence, peace and harmony towards yourself so that you can radiate it towards others.
