Hi Luella, I am still working on some of my stains. I have come a long way and your article is very inspiring to me. There are many days I want to give up, but I just tell myself to give it to God and start again the next day.

Wow! what an article, My advice follows that of the last paragraph. "Find positive people to hang around. They will influence you and their ways will become your ways" I love this and that's what I try to do. Positive people attract me and I feel so much better being around them. In the Adland community there are so many wonderful people who will send letters of love and encouragement to make you feel good about yourself. Avoid the news except positive news and don't read newspapers. If there is something going on in the world that you should know about you will soon find out without having to sit through day after day of negative horrors. Surround yourself with positive things, Positive people and think well of yourself. Awesome forum yet again guys

Great job Luella and John, Much success to you both,These articles will be highly beneficial to alot of people,planting these seeds people will remember where all this came from,Bravo.Kathy/simikathy

Hello JR, This is Luella. Thank you for your sound advice. The reasons for not wanting to seek help are many. And sometimes it is very difficut to take that first big step. But sometimes we need to in order to get well. Kindest regards, Luella May and John Elliott, aka Oaky Wood
