~ 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!

i found that when we are down deep hope is most precious for it has saved my life so incredible many times. It is when we lose touch with the future that we become cemented in our pain of the past and present. Yet set Concrete is very hard to break out of.

Such i silly arguement! Who wants to feel like SHIT? Of course i hope for a future without having to be down deep? (i reckon such thinking comes out of the blame the victim mentality that it is always in our own power to escape our suffering. How wonderful would that truth have been in my life? i would have stopped being depressed many decades ago!)

@TAB @GezzaP in Finnish it's perhonen. It sounds better than it looks!

I had a friend who used to call me mariposa😍

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Cuddlebear petalouda sounds like a pretty word, like mariposa and vlinder

And papillon in French, although I am sure someone has already mentioned that and I am just behind in my posts!

@TAB @DownMoreThanUp @GezzaP @Mustang67

Not relevant at all but it tickled my funny bone 😄
