Since a bad attitude is like a flat tire and I cannot go anywhere until I change it, I woke up today and have this idea to share positive input here. You may write your own too.
October 9, 2012
The first step to living the life I want is leaving the life I don’t want.
Taking the first step forward is always the hardest
But then each step forward gets easier and easier.
And each step forward gets me closer and closer until eventually
What had once been invisible starts to be visible.
And what had once felt impossible starts to feel possible.

Oh thank you!
October 10, 2012
I will not complain about someone not treating me right.
If I know I deserve better why am I continuing with him?
I have learned that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings even if I respect theirs.
Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good to me.
And loving someone doesn’t mean I have to be with him or that I will be loved in return.
I only have control on myself, on how I choose to be as a person.
And for others, I can only choose to either accept them or walk away.
Yes I do have a choice and today I am using it to the best of my ability.

That's a positive one. Thank you.
Never give up, (keep going)
Never look down (look up)
And never look back (look forward)
Always be positive!
Don’t let anyone make you feel as if you don’t belong or unworthy of… ever!
You are special and be proud of who you are!

It’s amazing how a person who was once just a stranger, can suddenly mean the world to me.
Sometimes I have to listen to my brain just to save my heart.
Oh yes…..
There is no need to rush.
If something is meant to be,
It will happen.
In the right time,
With the right person,
And for the best reason.

Some people will like me for no reason,
Some people will not like me for any reason.
Whom I choose to spend the most time, thoughts, and energy on,
Depend on how much I like myself.
By just staying near to people who treat me poorly,
I am telling them it’s OK to do so.
I will only keep close to me those who treat me right.
Sometimes the person I want the most
Is the person I am best without .
Today, I am treating myself right.
I am removing toxic people and places in my life.
For being with no one is better than being with the wrong one.

When I stop chasing the wrong things,
I give the right things a chance to catch me.
Today I will start doing what is good for me.
For a year from now, I will wish I had started today.

It's not a book actually, but just a compilation formed in my head through my personal experiences, and understanding of different materials I read (including quotations). Usually I think about things for its meanings and lessons and how can I apply them. Same thing goes with what I read. I consider myself a student of life for a lifetime.
Thanks for your interest and for asking.

Thank you Light and Loving My Life!
My life had lots of struggles, hardships, and pain. If I cannot continue to be positive, I don’t know where would I be now. I’m sharing these here because I hope to encourage those who are hurting and losing motivation to see the brighter side of life and never ever give up but to keep moving forward.

Recovery makes goals addiction makes excuses.
If I do not step forward,
I will always be in the same place.
If I wait for perfect conditions,
I’ll never get anything done.
So today, I am stepping forward.
Rain or shine, I’ll get things done.

Thanks for these. I can really relate to the following:
Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good to me.
I think that is one of the illusions that get me to endure anything from a poa.

It's so great to be able to step outside of the hamster wheel of my brain and focus my energy on positive, centering thoughts. It definitely helps, thank you so much!

I also relate to trying to be this amazingly good person, to my PoA. In contrast to my PoA I was very good, but in relation to non-addicts with healthy lives I was actually struggling to keep up. Like really struggling. I was addicted to the image of myself as good in comparison to him. It's using, he was my drug.
Thanks for the thread. My positive thought: If I want good things in my life there's always someone here to give them to me- me!

Thanks to all! You inspired me. LA people are survivors! When we take back our power and use it for our own needs instead of wasting it to our addiction, we become people of positivity and purpose! Let us keep it up. Let us prove that we can live so much better without a POA, because we are a complete person on our own…

Don’t ever say you’re not good enough!
If that person can’t see how amazing you are,
Then they are the one who’s not good enough for you.

The Past doesn’t need me a n y m o r e!
The time for the old nature to die is n o w!
That’s the only way to give birth to the
new and better me!
T o d a y is my tomorrow. It’s up to me to shape it,
To t a k e c o n t r o l
And seize every opportunity.
The power is in the choices I make each day.
I think positive, I take care of me, I live well.

“Once the storm is over,
You won't remember how you made it through,
How you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over,
But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm,
You won’t be the same person who walked in.
That’s what this storm is all about.”

Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.
I cannot drive forward if I keep looking in my rear view mirror.
Yesterday ended last night.
I take the lesson from the past then I move on.
I would not want to miss the beauty of this new day for the leftover of yesterday.

The positive energy at this thread is beautiful. All actions start w/ a thought. Thought block and replace w/ any one of these positive messages and the outcome will be positive.
Many blessings to each of you today.
Thank you codepnomore for starting such a wonderful thread.

This is a great thread. I have put a sticky on it.
I love cliches . . .
The glass is half full.
Lemonade out of lemons.
This too shall pass.
Human love comes and goes; God's love is forever
God loves me.
I am a child of God.
There is a brighter tomorrow.
There is a silver lining.
God's will be done.
My own personal favorite . . .
I am sure that money I just spent on a ticket I did not deserve went to the local homeless shelter.
This list is endless.
PT is a choice you make. It reduces anxiety and depression. |

Thank you R and Susan.
Susan, thanks for this amazing recovery board.
May we be known for being positive solution-oriented.

If I am regretful, I am living in the past.
If I am anxious, I am living in the future.
If I am at peace, I am where I am supposed to be…
In the present
Ask yourself, Where am I right now?

Living a Positive Legacy...
Did you know the Nobel Peace Prize is named after Alfred Nobel, the Swedish industrialist who invented dynamite? How did this come to be?
When Alfred’s brother died, a newspaper mistook him for Alfred. It printed his obituary with the headline, “The Merchant of Death Is Dead,” describing Alfred as a man who made his fortune helping people kill one another.
He was cut to the heart and vowed to change his legacy. When Alfred really died eight years later, he left $9 million to fund awards for people whose work benefited humanity—thus, the birth of Nobel Peace Prizes.
Alfred Nobel was given a rare gift: the opportunity to read his own obituary, and make changes before it was too late...
What might you do if given the same opportunity?
“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else. -Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)
