(((((lala))))))
I am so very glad to see you posting on the boards again here at EOR. Welcome to EOR and to our little family.
I know that God's time is not at all like mine. If it were up to me, I would be able to have my way all the time. lol But life is not like that, at least this life of mine isn't. I wont what I wont and I wont it right now. Funny how life is.
when I first got sober, things would come along and I would grab it, before thinking it through. You know just jump in and get my feet wet. Then before I knew it, I would find out that it wasn't what I was looking for after all. Now what was I to do? In the time that I have lived sober and in recovery.
I have lurned that all things in my life today are blessings. If it didn't happen just like the way it did, I would not of lurned the things I have had to lurned. So I would be able to be here to read your post to night, and welcome you to this board.
Hang in there!! it does get diffrant, and then it get better, and thennnnnnnn you know what happens? It gets diffrant again. Life on lifes turms, it isn't easy, IT just might be the hardest thing you will ever have to do. But it is the best thing you will ever have to except.
Lots of love always Kathy

Congrats LALA on your one year recovery! That is awesome! When my husband got his one year chip all I could think of was...his recovery is a MIRACLE.
We all have to travel a journey in our recovery LALA. And some of the paths we need to take are scarey and some are peaceful and exciting. I believe everythign happens for a reason. And though we may not understand why something happens, we can accept it as part of our jhourney and move on. As i learned more and more about myself it ws like peeling an onion. Once i got off one layer I found another under it. And sometimes I had to cry and sometimes I could smile.
{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}
And by the way. I think you did a wonderful job of posting! We all have to start someplace. I've been here since the day the doors opened and because I use netscape instead of IE, I can't figure how to do large text or colorful text. So I am still learning too.
LIN ;D

Hi Lala,
Welcome to our group.
A suggestion: go to my column "The Forgotton Children of AA", find Divine Providence"and it will will give you a perspective on "In God's time, not mine!"
Congratulations on your year - a day at a time
Tiger

CONGRADULATIONS. Heck. One time I didn't have a year. It is a learning experience. And things don't always (if ever) happen in our time. I have also found out that I don't always know what is good for me anyway. Some of the things that have happened to me sure where not of my choosing. But they sure ended up to be the best for me. Being alcoholic is one of them. I sure never wanted to be one. But glad that is the disease I ended up with. Has given me a lot of love for life and people that I would not ever have gotten any other way.
Wish you many more to come.
Ron
