Comes The Dawn
by Veronica A. Shoffstall

After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
And you learn that
love doesn't mean leaning
And company doesn't mean security
And you begin to learn
That kisses aren't contracts
And presents aren't promises

And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up
And your eyes ahead,
With the Grace of a Woman,
Not the grief of a child

And you learn to build all of your roads
on Today because tomorrow's ground
is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of
falling down in mid-flight

After a while you learn that
even sunshine burns
if you get too much.

So you plant your Own garden
and decorate your Own soul,
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.

And you learn that
you really *can* endure...
That you really *are* strong...
And that you really *do* have worth.
And you learn and you learn...
With every goodbye you learn.
~*~*~*~

That's a good question.  Don't recall me ever saying I had
diabetes...  As far as I know I don't.  Still going to the University of
Phoenix and probably will till next year this time.

   Nah, just threaten them with a whole bunch of spy ware...

Thanks cg

Strength

gotta love yourself, gotta be your best friend
ain't nobody who'll wait on you when you're acting like you're nearing the end
even though it's tough, been through so much
what you know you take from it and shape it until it makes you strong

when you find that strength, really can't complain
the same stuff that brought you down is the same that makes you turn all around
over the heads of the ones you dread
and nothing comes between you and your higher place ever again

don't you understand me
i don't feel anymore what i felt before
understand me
i don't feel anymore what i felt before

gotta give it up, gotta stand on top
get your feet back on the ground and walk away from what gets you down
there is no time for doing the crime
robbing yourself of life that could be much like a walk in the light
i'm not so special, i've come back from hell
to realize that nothing matters ever unless i let it

don't you understand me
i don't feel anymore what i felt before
understand me
i don't feel anymore what i felt before

an invitation to my graduation
gotta listen to the positive message and take it all in

don't you understand me
i don't feel anymore what i felt before
understand me
i don't feel anymore what i felt before

Just a note to tell you that we all really enjoy having you attend our meetings. We are hoping to see you again, as your presence really adds to our group. Let me invite you to come to our Eastside group, in Roseville. This group meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm, at St Athanasius Church, 18720 Thirteen Mile Rd., Roseville, MI (between Gratiot and Groesbeck). Enter the door that says Office. On the 27th of January, we will be having a speaker by the name of Dr. Deborah Dahl. She was a former member of AIM that went on to become a psychologist.

Whatever you choose to do, remember that recovery is 100% possible!

Blessings,

Hello:

    There is only a message board and no chat facility (or at least
yet).  Not a bad idea though.  Since there is only a message board,there
are no scheduled times.

Hi Everyone! I hope all goes well for you and that you know your friendship means a great deal to me. Most of you already live exactly like the Dalai Lama advises us to but when I got this sent to me, I figured it was worthwhile to send to you as good luck insurance in the coming year.

Here's to the end of a beautiful Holiday Season and the beginning of a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year for us all!

This is what The Dalai Lama has to say on the millennium, which began 01/01/2003. All it takes is a few seconds to read and think about. Do not keep this message. The mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours. You will get a very pleasant surprise. This is true even if you are not superstitious.

Instructions for Life in the new millennium from the Dalai Lama:

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others and responsibility for all your actions.

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

8. Spend some time alone every day.

9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.

15. Be gentle with the earth.

16. Once a year, go some place you've never been before.

17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need
for each other.

18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Do not keep this message. The mantra must leave your hands within 96 hours. You will get a very pleasant surprise (this is true even if you are not superstitious) if you send it to:

0-4 people: Your life will improve slightly.

5-9 people: Your life will improve to your liking.

9-14 people: You will have at least 5

Add this card to your address book

I received this in an email and thought I would pass it along. I think the point is that they would not donate to the veterans, not to social action groups, etc. I don't like Target stores, anyway. I was curious as to what some of you think???

mary ann

Vietnam Veterans Association

     Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our spring recognition event.

    We received the following reply from the local TARGET management: "Veterans do not meet our area of giving. We only donate to the arts, social action groups, gay & lesbian causes, and education."

    So I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans in general do not meet their donation criteria, then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, just a small sponsorship for a memorial remembrance.

    As a follow-up, I e-mailed the TARGET U.S. corporate headquarters and their response was the same.  That's their national policy.

    Then I looked into the company further. They will not allow the Marines to collect for 'Toys for Tots' at any of their stores. And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would not allow families of employees who were called up for active duty to continue their insurance coverage while they were on military service. Then as I dig further, TARGET is a French-owned corporation.

    Now, I'm thinking again. If TARGET can not support American Veterans, then why should I and my family support their stores by spending our hard earned American dollars and to have their profits sent to France. Without the American Vets, where would France be today?

    Feel free to pass this along to whomever you want.

           Sincerely,

           Dick Forrey

how did you do at preschool? i bet it turned out fine. we can always do the things that we need to do. we might not like it, but we do it. that only tells you that you are really capable, you just don't know it!

hypnotherapy is good. you totally relax and then introduce some positive statements.(afffirmations).

let me know how you are doing,,,

yes, i have been recovered for a number of years. i did not take meds because i was phobic about that. i was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. i wasn't doing anything with my kids, in fact, i wasn't doing anything. i was willing to do anything (almost), and son of a gun, it worked!

concentrate on you, right now. School is a long way off. the most important thing is for you to start feeling better.

do you have any support? where do you live?

i am in the uk. i was having counselling for a while but it was not doing very much for me. i have heard a lot of good things about hypnotyherpy which i am looking into trying. big well done to you for getting through it. do you live a normal life now or do you still find it hard some days have you taken a holiday yet i really miss that. i have worked up the courage to take kayleigh ( my oldest) to pre school today have to leave in about half an hour so wish me luck.

you don't have to take antidepressants because you can change your biochemistry with behavioral/cognitive techniques. it might take longer, and i know it takes a lot of work, but it's worth it. i figure you just have to go off the meds eventually, anyway.

yes, i have been recovered for a number of years. i did not take meds because i was phobic about that. i was just sick and tired of being sick and tired. i wasn't doing anything with my kids, in fact, i wasn't doing anything. i was willing to do anything (almost), and son of a gun, it worked!

concentrate on you, right now. School is a long way off. the most important thing is for you to start feeling better.

do you have any support? where do you live?

hiya.

thanks for your reply. my doctor did suggest antidepressants but i didnt really want to go down that road.have you recovered from agrophobia and how long as been. because it sometimes seems like this is going to go on for ever. my oldest starts school next year and i want to be able to take but not sure if i will be able to.

hi tina! welcome to a.i.m.! my name is mary ann, and i have been with aim for many years. you asked what works and what doesn't.... well, basically there are 2 kinds of treatments. one is medicine (antidepressants, anti-anxiety etc), and the other is behavioral/cognitive restructuring (which really means - change your behaviors and your thoughts). medicine is a choice. behavioral/cognitive stuff is necessary. a.i.m. can't give you medical advice, that is between you and your doctor, but we can tell you that changing your behavior, and most importantly, your thoughts, is necessary. it's a lot of hard work, but well worth it. to me, knowing that i could recover from agoraphobia was the biggest relief. i did not care what i had to do to obtain. check out the website www.aim-hq.org i have 4 kids, but they are much older than yours. i have 3 girls and 1 boy. keep in touch. yours in recovery, mary ann ----- Original Message ----- From: "tina" <tina1304uk@...> To: <a-i-m@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 4:30 AM Subject: [a-i-m] hello > hi i am new to this group. i will just tell a bit about myself. my > name is tina i am 23 and i have 2 kids age 4 and 13month both girls > and i have been agrophobic for about 4 years. i would like some > adivce on treatments and what works and what doesent. > > > > > > > Your use of Yahoo!

hi tina!
welcome to a.i.m.!  my name is mary ann, and i have been with aim for many
years.  you asked what works and what doesn't....  well, basically there are
2 kinds of treatments.  one is medicine (antidepressants, anti-anxiety etc),
and the other is behavioral/cognitive restructuring (which really means -
change your behaviors and your thoughts).  medicine is a choice.
behavioral/cognitive stuff is necessary.  a.i.m. can't give you medical
advice, that is between you and your doctor, but we can tell you that
changing your behavior, and most importantly, your thoughts, is necessary.
it's a lot of hard work, but well worth it.  to me, knowing that i could
recover from agoraphobia was the biggest relief.  i did not care what i had
to do to obtain.  check out the website
www.aim-hq.org
i have 4 kids, but they are much older than yours.  i have 3 girls and 1
boy.
keep in touch.
yours in recovery,
mary ann
