I am so glad you posted that today! The theme that I have been on is so closely related. I have been thinking that life is difficult whether you are so sober or not. Being high just makes life harder than it really has to be. and something that is funny is that last night my friend and I were looking at umbrellas, and they have those ones again like when we were little girls. They are the clear bubbles. We were talking about how when we were kids, it wasn't so important that you stayed dry, it was more important that you had afriend under your umbrella with you. If that is not a metaphor for this forum I don't know what is!
Awesome quote! I always listen to that song from Gary Allen Every Storm Runs Out of Rain. It came out right around the time everything started happening with me.
Great quote, one we will have to apply for the rest of our lives! Storms will come and go, and our natural inclination is to isolate and use drugs to avoid it. But by dancing in the rain we can grow and learn to enjoy life and all the emotions that come with it!
Love that quote!
So very true. I tend to get ahead of myself, or compare myself to non- addicts, but I have just realized recently, that I have to take things at MY speed, day by day. It makes life such much more do-able, and makes me a happier person too!
