neat saying I came across and thought it might help someone

Hi all. Haven't posted in a bit but I came across this saying earlier and thought to myself.."wow that applies to me and probably alot of others too."  so here it is and I hope at least someone gets something out of it.. I know I did

"A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming."---Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thanks.. me too... NO MORE WORSHIPPING EXCEPT THE ONE THAT REALLY COUNTS... THE MAKER HIMSELF..

Me and husband both quit on Feb 1 ... had a small slip a few weeks ago so if you count that one we are both at 20 days...

But no matter ... pretty soon I won't even be counting the days... woo hoo... that made me happy to say.. and today we decided to celebrate and lift our moods a little we would go and look for that SUV I have wanted for so long.. may go buy it tomorrow.. I know I probably shouldn't but it is soooo nice and gives me a little boost and something else to look forward to ... bad memories in the old car ... know what I mean.. kinda feels like starting fresh since we can't get rid of our house it is at least a little change anyway.. plus it will keep our finances in check a little more cause the bills come first so if I am spending it on a new car payment I won't even think about spending it elsewhere.. know what I mean?

Ty for sharing this. Congrats on your clean time. How many days are you now?

I worshiped drugs for a long time, but not no more, drugs no longer have my respect, I hate them. Wow, I have changed a lot, lol.
