Good morning Bettie,
lots of catching up for me to do. So sorry I missed you this morning, I had to step away from the pc for a few minutes. I caught up reading day before yesterday so now i get to post! I am learning patience whether i like it or not 🙂 So first off….
A great big fat Wohooooooooooooo!!!!! for nine months of recovery
I’m so glad you received all the words of wisdom and support that you have. God bless Larry as well for he always seems to know exactly what to say. To me abstinence is either holding on for dear life while not making any attempt to learn or grow or having a spell where the triggers may have abated enough for a person to sneak by with a little will power. Abstinence alone never lasts i don’t think. Your recovery has been about growth and understanding and change. Yes it ok for someone to give us feedback on how they think we are doing. But they need to check their delivery. So enough said on that topic from me!
I will say a prayer for certain Bettie, for your friend and for his daughter. You are a good soul Bettie and a good friend.
Have a great weekend hun, know that even when i miss you or can’t spend a lot of time here, you are in my thoughts.
xo Laura
