True Friends

[Stacie S]

This is how I see true friends. We stick together though think and thin no matter what we go though with each other the bad and good times. Even if we fall off the wagon that is when we can really know if we are truely friends because a true friend would beside you even though this. I wish more people were like this. I know for me I am going to be a friend like that because life is to sort and we can die today or tomorrow and I what poeple in my life because i do care about evenone. I have learnt a lot of things in the program and this is an eye opener for me I truely care for all my new and old friends in and out of the program. I want to live today.

Everyone have GREAT DAY.


ps. I am a very good listener. love you all.

Friends

Don't overlook the value of friendshio. Don't neglect friends. Friends are a joy. Adult friendships can be a good place for us to learn to have fun and to appreciate how much fun we can have with a friend.
Friends can be a comfort. Who knoews us better, or is more able to give us support, than a good friend? A friendship is a comfortable place to be ourselves. Often, our choice of friends will reflect the issues we're working on. Giving and receiving support will help both people grow.
Some friendships wax and wane, going through cycles throughout the years. Some trail off when one person outgrows the other. Certianly, we will have trials and tests in friendships, and at times, be called on to practice our recovery behaviors.
But some friendships will last a lifetime. There are special love relationships, and there are friendships. Sometimes, our friendships -- especially recovery friendships -- can be special love relationships too.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will reach out to a friend. I will let myself enjoy the comfort, joys, and enduring quality of my friendships.

[glow=red,32,300]That is a great saying Life is too short to be fighting with each other. One day we are here the next we are not. I am always there for my new and old friends. It is sad for me because people say they are your friend then use ya or pertend they are going to help you then stab you in the back and all you were trying was help someone when they told there story to you. This world is dieing anger and fighting. Instead of lovely one other how hard is that. Remember live is to short.[/glow]
