BH I'm 12 hours sober, :D
all (jokes) aside, I have been working on my abilities to stay happy, even when I don't feel like being happy. so I thought a thread about what are happiest moment in our lives would not only put us all in a good mood, but help put life in a more positive perspective. I'll start

my happiest moment has got to be my sisters wedding. while most weddings are happy, and while we are usuly happy for our siblings when they get married, this one was special. my sister went an entire year and a half with out being red to a single guy. and after going to shadchanim after shadchanim with nothing happening, I got so depressed for her I was beside myself. and as y'all might know, depression is a big thing that leads to sinning. so I would consider that year, adding on all of my problems, not to be a good time for me.
then out of no where she gets this random shidduch. The guy didn't even look into her. they went out, and boom, engaged. I didn't know how to comprehend it. how a situation can go from litteraly rock bottom to like BH amazing. and the wedding it self, it just was undescribable. I didn't even need to drink to get laibadic. it was thee most joyous occasion in my life so far.

now its your turn.
"....You start giving to others, and you’ll start to see your pain fade away.... If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don’t like. Kill narcissus.Kill apathy. Kill the shameful selfish looser inside of you. I had an old self that I killed..... You can kill yourself too, but that doesn't mean you got to stop living...kill the part of you that's all you and nobody else, because that's the part that makes you want to curl up and die"

"Fear plays an interesting role in our lives. How dare we let it motivate us? How dare we let it into our decision-making, into our livelihoods, into our relationships?..."

Congrats on the 12 hours. Now go make it 24!!

I don't know happiest, but the most overwhelmingly emotional moment of my life (in a good way) was the first time I held by first child in my arms. It was dizzying, and a darn good thing I was sitting down or I may have dropped her.

The best moment of my life is right now, this very second.

In recovery i'm learning to live in the moment. Not living in the past, not in the future. In the here and now.

Every time I see my wife. The worst moments with her are still better than the best moments without her.

Your wife has a lot of glory?
