I Hate Good-Byes

"Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves. Then we would have to say good-bye. I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos."

- Charles M. Schulz

Unforgettable

"Unforgettable, that's what you are,
Unforgettable though near or far,
Like a song of love that clings to me,
How the thought of you does things to me,
Never before has someone been more,

Unforgettable in every way,
And forever more, that's how you'll stay,
That's why, darling, it's incredible,
That someone so unforgettable,
Thinks that I am unforgettable too.

Unforgettable in every way.
And forever more, that's how you'll stay,
That's why, darling, it's incredible,
That someone so unforgettable,
Thinks that I am unforgettable too."

Thanksgiving

"For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

It Will Come True

Breaking the Cycle

"Breaking the cycles of alcohol and abuse is one of the most difficult things a man can face and embrace. Living in the shadows of an abusive father and grandfather is daunting. My commitment to my boys is to end the cycle with my history so they do not have to bear the burden."

Your Right to Grow

"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow." - Alice Walker

I Can

I can stop drinking alcohol on weekdays.
I can stop drinking alcohol during the day at work.
I can substitute every second drink with water, non-alcoholic beer, coffee or a soft drink.

People Pleasers

"The irony is that people pleasers fail because it is impossible to please all the people all the time. They fail to meet their needs because they have ceased to be aware of them." - Anonymous

All the Time

"Many people find it hard to admit when alcohol is a problem. Often, people around you may see your problem before you do. Think about the things mentioned here. Think about what your friends and family say to you about drinking. Alcohol is a problem if it causes problems in any part of your life. This includes your health, your work and your life at home. You may have a problem with alcohol if you think about drinking all the time, if you keep trying to quit on your own but can't, or if you often drink more than you plan to." - Anonymous

Walk Away

"Part of being a winner is knowing when enough is enough. Sometimes you have to give up the fight and walk away, and move on to something that's more productive. " - Donald Trump
