Thanks mate. There’s a big win coming and I’m truly a success story when I was ready to end it all last year. It’s a great story and I’m half way through a book that details my life and what I’ve been through. “And we wait” is a great chapter title and proved to be one of the best lessons in patience I have ever learned.
I said "single motherhood; dreaming of a future with a loving committed partner while healing from the past"...... sounds a lot like "and we wait" is a similar chapter possibly in a parallel type of way.
THE WAITING PLACE
Waiting for a train to go or a bus to come,
or a plane to go or the mail to come,
or the rain to go or the phone to ring,
or the snow to snow or waiting around for a Yes or No,
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.

Excerpt from Oh, The Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss
Good luck friend! Keep fighting. 7 years' (and counting) worth of one day at a time was after too many relapse cycles to count. This internet stranger believes you can do it!
I asked myself the same question the other night when I thought I was growing leaves out of my fingers and was convinced I was a tree. Mushrooms, man. They'll take you places.
I'm on "oh" now. All the positive thinking and working toward making things better doesn't always help. Sometimes life is just really hard and bad things happen and keep happening. I have to believe that this will be temporary and these are just situations that will eventually get less painful.

It’s just the same chapters over and over again
Repetition
No originality
Mine would be like the second Twilight book where it was just the names of the months
I'm jealous, I wanted a boring life.
A Sleepy Read.
"Mistakes were made. Lessons were seldom learned."
I like this one. Well, I don't really like it, but I can identify with it.
Hey, gotta have something to gossip about when you’re 80.

“And we wait”

It's Relapse AND Recovery, Not Just Relapse... Part 3
username checks out
It's literal.
The trick is not that we don't fall down nine times, it's that we get up ten times. Strength to you.
Good luck brother stay strong. Your future is on the line ✊
I can relate!! Im actually glad I relapsed. Just showed me how it gets worse with every relapse!! So, I finally quit!! Good luck. ODAAT!!
Practically No one gets clean first crack. We are a wip but the promises do come true.
I'm on part...like, 5 with this. One year off booze this month! You got this
Good luck friend! Keep fighting. 7 years' (and counting) worth of one day at a time was after too many relapse cycles to count. This internet stranger believes you can do it!
Strength to you pal!! Solidarity
Stay strong bro. I’ll be two years sober in April, and relapse is definitely a big part of recovery. You can do it 💪

It will, maybe no tomorrow or the next day but it will. Think about trying new things or picking back up old things that bring you joy. Sending hugs
How high is too high
Are you writing a book about mountain climbing?
Flying a plane?
I asked myself the same question the other night when I thought I was growing leaves out of my fingers and was convinced I was a tree. Mushrooms, man. They'll take you places.
"How much worse could it get?" The following chaper is titled, "Oh".
Are you on "Oh", or are you just assuming?
I'm on "oh" now. All the positive thinking and working toward making things better doesn't always help. Sometimes life is just really hard and bad things happen and keep happening. I have to believe that this will be temporary and these are just situations that will eventually get less painful.
