► A Reminder from your Community Leaders - “Moods/Journals

[avisg]

It has been proven that positive energy is helpful when dealing with our health issues .We really need to be projecting positive thoughts and positive "moods" in our profiles and journals . In the end this will help us all reach our goals of getting and staying clean -- We are all on this Community to give, get, gain and share advice with each other. We are here to help each other; never to judge one another.



Regarding this, there has been negativity/drama we have all seen it lately .It really can distract us as we try to reach our personal goals.  We all probably agree, we all need avenues to vent. This is true for most of us without a doubt, but using our journals and moods to promote negativity/drama is really distracting and could effect peoples recovery.



GTMI and I are just like everyone here. We are members trying to focus on our lives and staying clean. We are here to help lend a hand and reach out to give support and, sometimes even for ourselves, get support.



Let’s try, to focus on positives -- give it some thought -- :)

I concur too.  If it wasn't for my positive attitude towards finding new pain medication I don't think I would have succeded on my taper program (that I did all by myself--no one holding my pills). I just kept telling myself everyday how good I felt..(even though some days I did hurt).  And I thanked God almost every day.

Hello everyone. I completely agree with avis.  And, would like to openly appoligize for an incident I had last week. I was reading through some of the posts and came accross something that riled me. I don't want to relive it. But, I flipped out and went off of someone that hadn't even wrote the post. I still feel horrible about it. I just want to say that sometimes, the emotions of being an addict, can overcome you. I am regaining all the feelings and emotions. Anger and resentment being some of them. I have learned from it, and have caught myself feeling them again out in the world. I am starting to look into the whats and whys of this. But, I believe there are just as much, if not more ,emotional/mental reasons we use in the first place. In other words, I have to start facing my demons. As alot of us do. I am extremely thankful for this forum. I do not believe I would be as far along as I am without it. Thank you to all.
