If we can become so in love with our substances that day in and day out, our entire thought process revolves around using, why then when we quit can't we become intimate with something positive.  Generally we jump into a relationship that turns to crap, or exercise everyday untill that starts to suck or we just overdue some other aspect in our lives untill we ourselves can't stand being around ourselves.  The only way that I have overcome these hurtles is by creating a higher power that works for me.  This may sound silly but I love it, which in turn alows me to love me and then I can finally turn this love outward and love you.  So with saying that If nobody has said they love you today I love YOU!!  Have a great day.
