"Saw my life this morning. All this stuff I am saving.
Well who knows what this junk is for.
And whatever I believed in. This is all I have to show.
What were all the reasons. For holding on for such dear life.
Here's where I let go."

Entering Recovery

Feelings

"We're all so fragile. We're all so scared.
But you say you want to live your life without tears,
We've been trying to do that for thousands of years.
So go on and cry, Ophelia.
It's the only thing to do sometimes."
---- Adam Cohen-- Cry Ophelia

My story

Helping a sufferer

You were put here on earth because you are special.
And that I wish you could see.
I, for one,
could not live without you,
you mean so much to me.
You are truly a terrific friend,
a star that never fails to shine through,
please know that I am here,
especially when you're feelin' blue.
I'm always here to listen.
I'm always here to care.
I'll always provide ya with lotsa hugs.
And I will always be willing to share.
No matter what is troubling you.
I, for one, will ALWAYS be there.

Inspirations

"To dream about the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are."

A reminder *smiles*- Don't Quit

"The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing,
There's someone in this crazy world for me.
The way that people come and go through temporary lives,
My chance could come and I might never know.
I used to say no promises, lets keep it simple,
But freedom only helped me say goodbye,
It took a while to understand that nothing comes for free,
The price I've paid is high enough for me."
--The Carpenters

Affirmations

Those who have helped

"When you come to the edge of all the light you have, and you must step into the darkness of the unknown, believe that one of two things will happen. Either there will be something to stand on, or you will be taught to fly."

"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will persue his principles unto death."

Steps --Believe (chorus)
If you believe
Believe in me
I'll turn this tide, this stream into a sea
'cause I believe
Believe in dreams
I know that somewhere there's a key and time will wait for me.

"I gotta crawl down narrow alley ways to heaven, or stroll boulevards to hell."

"What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now."

"I pull you from your tower, take away your pain,
show you all the beauty you possess,
if you'd only let yourself believe."
--Sarah Mclachlan

"An expectation is a premeditated resentment"

"Yesterday is but a dream, tomorrow a vision of hope. Look to this day for it is life."

"Some say it's holding on that makes you strong. Sometimes it's letting go."

"Some people come into our lives and quickly leave, while others stay awhile leaving footprints on out hearts and we are never the same."

""In each day ahead I wish for you a rainbow whose colours are bright with hope, a flower whose fragrance is made of joy, and a dream whose promise always shines in your heart."

"When there is no light, no future and no meaning, there will always be hope."

"As long as we have memories yesterday remains.
As long as we have hope tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have friendship today is beautiful."

"Happiness just isn't about stuff."

"I've seen the other side. Anything that I felt was good on the other side was simply an illusion. There's too much life to go back to where I've been."

"After years of waiting. After years of waiting nothing came.
And you realise you're looking, looking in the wrong place."
