You held my hand

48 HOURS!! Thank you all!! Most especially I am so thankful and grateful for Terrie. Who took my hand in the first few hours. She also came back and found me today! All of the responses I have gotten from so many of you. To finally not have to do it Alone! I have never met any of you, yet feel like I matter to each one of you. I feel a closeness and true concern and genuine connection. This has a healing power all on its own. I look forward to reading more stories and holding your hands as well. 

could of been a difficult day.. Your mind really plays games, I found my Thots saying just one... Just one !! No!! These wonderful people are rooting for me, a commitment I gave to hold onto the hands of Mag and Terrie. I read your blogs, all of you, followed links you sent me, I even jumped aboard a Train!!  Reading your stories I realized how important every single one of you are ! Whether the new gal, or my new friends who are at 20 days...or 994 days.. Or 7 years. We all need each other to share the different seasons we have to walk thru.  thank you Elders, for your wisdom and dedication to keep lifting up others! We need you! I Will Not Quit My Quit!! And because you held my hand.. May I always be able to hold out mine!

" I have never met any of you, yet feel like I matter to each one of you. I feel a closeness and true concern and genuine connection"......that is what is special about this community and no other.

Our addictive mind aka Nic, will say things to you that aren'[t good.Nothing but lies.  Don't believe it. We have the power to control him!!! Just keep saying NO. A word of advice is stay close to this site and read. You will become stronger!!

Hello and welcome. I hope things are going well for you. I have been here sence Febuary  and I still get lost, but it is getting better.Takes time to figure out were to go. I work 2nd shift so I am a late reader on this sight. I do try to stop by 4-5 nights a week and read the new comments. It does help, you are not alone. We are here to help and as you say "hold a hand out". Take care for now, visit with you again sometime.
