JUST A THOUGHT................ HE WHO HESITATES IS SOMETIMES SAVED. Recovery is teaching us to think a situation through to the end before we ACT. In the past, we often reacted first and thought later. Unable to wait out the pain, we tried to "fix" our problems by artificial means:alcohol or any other mind altering substances including food, sex, and excitement. Our only goal was to escape and get relief from the ups and downs of life. Rushing from one situation to another, we seldom slowed down enough to relax and really think through the consequences of are actions. Now were learning to solve problems instead of escaping from them. Learning to sit still with disconfort, knowing it will pass, has given us real personal power in our day-to-day living. again just a thought

And, a very nice thought! Very true. Hope you are having a good day! :)
Especially when you turn over a situation and have to wait and not act! Patience is not one of my virtues....yet! LOL!
thanks gjm.your words are powerful.
That is so true gjm. This is a good reminder from you on how we have to \"feel\" the emotions without running to the damm liqour store instead.
