I gave her a ride back to her apartment (her and her little dog) and I've been praying for her ever since, she just can't stop. The necessary want to live is not there YET.<br /><br />God help all of those who still haven't had that moment, the one we have. The one with you alone that makes all the difference.<br /><br />Thanks for continuing to write the things of your heart. This honesty and care helps me to see the light! It enhances and makes it brighter!Jess Mistress of Mischiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766848582303523764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-83395605489109394792010-04-12T10:24:20.905-06:002010-04-12T10:24:20.905-06:00I too went out and bought an I-phone yesterday.

I am learning that I can't always be looking for the next thing to make me happy. I have to learn to be happy for no reason or I'll live my whole life in "I'll be happy when..." land, where happiness never seems to come.Made Urbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310265694093807142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-1803317824235436952010-04-12T10:18:32.268-06:002010-04-12T10:18:32.268-06:00"Not one to ever let a financial gain be a fi..."Not one to ever let a financial gain be a financial gain for more than 30 seconds"<br /><br />That is so me. I laughed and laughed. All the distance between us and we are so alike in ways.<br /><br />Sorry to read about your friend. I cannot fathom why it happens and hope that it never happens to me, but one thing I do know is that I never will be able to predict what this horrible addictaion will do next.Findonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029106119199508890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-61986464662952135862010-04-12T09:24:55.062-06:002010-04-12T09:24:55.062-06:00Oh, how I relate!

Exactly where I am -- putting off what I know I need to do because of fear, instead of seeing the unknown as an opportunity for good things and adventure.

Howeve...Treating yourself once in a while is great. However I struggle with the "Once in a while". When I was drinking I could find any excuse to justify it, when I want to spend I can do the same. Something I need to work on. A lady in the Sunday morning AA meeting relapsed this weekend. It was heartbreaking watching her from across the room, she almost looked tortured. I now appreciate the "moment of silence" we observe for the alcoholic who still suffers.drybottomgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702877045042502693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-41065198762765530762010-04-12T06:59:49.279-06:002010-04-12T06:59:49.279-06:00I can't wait to hear about your adventures at ...I can't wait to hear about your adventures at the census bureau!

Some of them have, of course, drunk again since I've known them, but I've never seen any during the course of it. I'm sure I will. After all, I'm still pretty new around here. <br /><br />I'm amazed by the sanguine way you write about it. I know you must have seen a great deal in all your time. It's humbling. I think I would feel deeply betrayed.Dr24Hourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212511946268980294noreply@blogger.com
