Well, alright the snow is coming down and it's cold, but it's still a beautiful morning in my head, and it's a new beautiful day!
Ican, just keep on going. Sometimes, we just aren't quite ready yet, but if you want it, eventually it clicks. For me I've had to deal with other issues and I am still dealing with them. I believe staying AF involves totally embracing life and sometimes we have things that are still in our way or lessons we still have to learn. Keep plowing through.
Jimmy, good job on going to the movies and taking a break. Smart move. I think a lot of us have that issue. It's not easy to break with loved ones either. If you've been a caretaker/rescuer for someone, they get pretty testy when you stop. It can be a painful process, but there isn't any other way to the other side. You are doing great. Hang tough and stick to your guns. If you don't have support outside, just grab a hand and vent here.:l You are exactly right that it has to be for YOU! Not others. When we want it for ourselves and want the change and a better life, we are motivated from inside.
Daisy, I can relate to those very sad times where we hurt so bad we need relief. Eventually, we begin to hurt a little less, then even less and we are able to grab hold of our internal strength and use it again. Keep moving forward; you are worth it.
DD, my dreams are too scary and bizarre to share. Sometimes they are horrifying. I know they will pass as I work through my situation and get to a more peaceful place. An unsettled mind will haunt you in the night. I know people who get locked in there dreams and are freaking out, but you have a hard time getting them awake. They are lucid dreaming at the time.
Kuya, life sounds like it's having a field day with you in the 'when it rains, it pours' category. The old obvious choice was DRINK! How can one person handle all this...to hell with it...waaahhh...victim...
I admire your new found strength. We need strength and courage and we sure aren't going to find the real thing in a bottle. Liquid courage is a fantasy of losing proportions. It used to make me feel strong when I was in the inebriated state. I would challenge guys to arm wrestling contests like I was so tough. I think we both know how that ended...the same way all our situations end while drinking. It's funny you should mention your son. Last night after logging off, I was thinking about asking you how you handle the difficulties with your children in regards to that other topic of not feeling the pain of others or rescuing them. So this morning, there you have two issues. Care to share? I thought maybe I should ask PM. Anyway, I wanted your insight.:l:h
Good job Dottie. Don't you feel good about that this morning? Keep that in your mind. How good it feels to use your strength and win.
Hello to everyone in the nest. You can make this an AF day. Tomorrow will be 30 days for me. If I can do it with the mess I've been in, we all can do it!!!
Love,
Slay
