^ LOL!! I'm feeling left out! Oh, yeah, I'm already married.

the real reason I came over to this thread:

ask and define to yourself what love is, what compassion is, and what acceptance is. there really isnt much else is worth thinking about, and if that all you can think then thats all you will get.

^Hi Pip! You swooped in just in time to save me from double-posting.

i forgive myself for what i did in the past. i forgive myself for being a drunk. i forgive myself for being a user. from this day forward, it's about what i do NOW. it's no longer about the past.

The reason we become heroin addicts is because it fills the hole that each of us carries within us. We all have one. It fits it beautifully, it's the exact right shape, it fills it to completion and that's what makes heroin so attractive. You're rediscovering the hole it filled, and doesn't it feel a big one? From this moment on filling the hole that's left, the hole that's always been there with something better will be your life's work. Striving for wholeness is our human condition.

I'm glad I didn't. That post I think will come to be as much a reminder for me of the challenge I face, as much as anything else.
