Since I respect you so much, and you're doing so well, I'll try it.
I actually feel a bit better after telling my first joke.

Seeeeeeeeeeee i told you Momo.

Habib, actually, imtrying25 was referring to me saying 5 positive things each day (not 5 jokes). But I really like the tell one joke a day idea.

Sorry, no more jokes available today.

I actually need help with ideas of positive things to say.

I thought of one: I'm not such a bad guy.

Any other ideas?

Why not "im a good guy"? Im a good guy who has his share of struggles and hard times . But that dont make me bad.

that's not such a bad idea.....
yeah i have one.
you have cutie kids?
a wife?
shnitzel for supper?

If I make bad choices for most of my day I must be a bad person.
We are defined by the choices we make.

Sorry. Here goes: I'm not good, but I'm probably not so bad that I deserve to beat myself up and ponder suicide.

That better?

I have cutie kids.

I have a wife.

I love shnitzel, but it's not for supper. (BTW, I could eat shnitzel every day!)

That's my positive statements for the day??? I was thinking I need to say something more substantial, like "G-d loves me, regardless" and "If G-d kept me alive today He must believe in me even thought I don't".

Right and wrong. We are defined by the choices WE  make but not by the choices our addiction makes.
Theres always another way of looking at things. Ill give you an example. Someone once asked me if there is a hashkafic reason noto go on birth control. I told him; i dont know if there is an hashkafic reason or a halachic reason but what i do know is this. There are people out there that are willing to give up the world pay all the money in the world do whatevr it takes to hold their own child in their hands and you who has the chance to have that are gonna just throw it away cuz your not interested in the inconvieneince right now. It was a little more than that but that was the point. He walked away saying to me i never looked at it that way.
Now point being. There are people who are still looking for that wife/husband. Dying to have cute kids. Will do anything to have someone serve them shnitzel for supper. So your lucky. And feel good cuz your lucky. Think about , although you have so many hard times during the day, whats waiting for you at home. Everyone knows thers nothing like a child looking up at you and smiling, especially when that child is yours.
