todays blessings
this afternoon's Alanon institution meeting
the young young man just off heroin and his girlfriend in rehab getting clean from it
their desire for a 'normal life'
their baby who might have a chance
there is always hope.
the woman who claims she can understand the disease when it gets to disease stage
but who claims in the beginning there was a choice
maybe she had a choice
but not those who have the disease
she's going to check into Alanon meetings in her area
there is always hope
the older man sitting next to me
yelling at us that his daughter HAS TO be honest with him & her husband
but he and he are getting in her way to the bottle
but she is in rehab
she might get IT this time
not go for the bottle the next time
there is always hope
I did so many things wrong today
I still made it to the institution meeting
just in time
I was so moved
when the chairperson asked me to please
please come next week cause he can't make it next week
just after I decided I can't do these meetings anymore
they just tear me up inside and
It doesn't do anyone any good anyway
Guess I'll keep suiting up and showing up
Putting down my self will and slefishness
and asking God for help
there is always hope

I am such a firm believer in HOPE. And I have been shocked so many times by people I thought would never get sober....and I run into them leading a meeting! We are part of an awesome deal...normal people never get to see all the miracles we get to witness.
What a wonderful post. Thanks.
There is so much pain out there. Yet there can be so much beauty found in that thing we refer to as "Hope."
I am glad that God is directing you. More so, you are accepting his guidence.
Big Hugs to you.
Thank you God for hope. It is always there.
