~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

How can living lies ever be true without hurting/burning our truth in the process. Lies like a combustion engine running your 'truths consuming' flat out? Ever felt that emptiness within drunk the day after a 'wild' night out for example?) (Goodbye stranger!)

Ever wondered why believing lies always ends in disaster when the truth is revealed down lowest?

Lies rule truth deepest deep robbing us of our treasures highest high.

Feel that life is only suffering? Believing the feeling you best ABORT by all means!

Hearing a feeling in you say - life is not worth living - means to say dump feeling that life as soon as you can.

You have heard thou shalt not murder while i say murder all feelings or thoughts telling you that is not true!

Living a lie burns your Truth its misery!

The Truth says to be true always sings i'm free, without a hangover and the other COSTS to YOUR life!

Have a great day friends.

@Judi9877 Thank you for noticing and caring. It doesnt just impact me, but the succeeding generations. I cannot do much about it, so must accept even though it is wrong.

Interesting how you notice the forum is quieter. I think there are more staff behind the scenes, although I may be wrong.

I love how you keep in touch with everyone and keep doing good for you and your friend. I guess that is all we can do.

Very helpful mantras indeed @MissGremlin and just the types of affirmations I need to be utilising in this period of adjustment as my doses and medications are changed and my strategies continuously implemented to help me reach my "baseline" 😊
