Hi everyone.

I started here quite a while ago and was on and off and did have success (when I did what I was supposed to). I got away from here for a number of reasons and tried to go it alone. That doesn't work. At all.

I am tired and frustrated and so very unhappy with myself and my life. I continue to disappoint myself and others (I think) on a routine basis. I thought I had control of things but I really have control of nothing. I am my own worst enemy. I'm tired of always starting over. But I need to start over....AGAIN.:upset:

Help. I am just a mess.:upset: :upset: :upset:

Hello Nomorewine --

I guess if this thing were easy to do, none of us would need this program! But here we are.

And my oh my, I've been "starting over" for 6 years. But don't quit quitting, if you get my drift. Eventually it will stick. Part of it is truly making that inner decision and commitment, part of it is believing in yourself, part of it is letting go and taking it a day at a time.

Welcome back. Glad you're here!!

Welcome Back

Hey NoMore,

Sorry you're feeling badly about yourself right now. I think it is safe to say that most of us feel badly FOR YOU but not ABOUT YOU. Our arms and hearts are always open!

Hugs,
Kathy

NMW,
You know the cool thing about getting back up and dusting off your feet again, is that you have learned ONE more new thing. You are a step closer than you were the last time. You have to remember that you ARE making progress even though you may feel like you are starting all over. You are not starting all over. It really is a journey, and sometimes painful. I just hope you, me and no one here ever gives up because we "fall back" to where we were for a season. You are stronger than when you came here last... I like to think of it as "scar tissue." Everytime we have a break in the bone, we get some scar tissue built up around it. Sometimes it can actually make that point of injury or break the strongest part of your arm. (Or in my case, wrist!) Our bodies have natural instincts to turn our breaking points into points of greatest strength!

Great to have you back!
Allie
