Life has taught me that there is Hope

I realised in a meeting today that I am forgetting that life has taught me that no matter how tought things get, the one thing I can always have is HOPE.

• Hope is why I go to meetings.  I know that when I work the program it works. Even if I am in the food (which thankfully I am not at the moment) I can ask for help and things will get better. My bad days today are nothing like my average day in my 'using' past.  I now have a truckload of tools to use when life is feeling tough.
• My HP knows what I need and therefore I always get what I need. This means sometimes I don't get what I want (see people - there were some disastrous men I wanted more than anyting!)
• I never believed I would have a healthy and happy relationship, and after one disastrous relationship after another I finally gave in, stopped controlling everything and found a loving man.  I feel very blessed.
• I have enough.  I am feeling stressed and insecure around money at the moment, but I have always had enough.  It will be ok in the long run. I am enough.  My HP only gives me what I can handle, so I will be able to handle this day if I just breathe and live it on life's terms, not mine.
• Miracles happen and they can happen for me.  I have had many experiences with miracles, including coming into some money the day after I was desperate enough, about my financial needs to get a UK visa, to ask my HP for help.

Hope is only the love of life. Henri-Frédéric Amiel
