Sorry I missed you. The dog is wanting in and out and in and out. Wondering if there is a storm coming. Or she is trying to convince me to give her the leftover pork chop on the table. lol Yes I think at a certain point we have to forgive the people in our past. Although there are exceptions most people were doing the best they could. But interesting you are still afraid of the dark and felt there was something unresolved? or had I read that wrong? I had a great day today. Lots of me time. But also got the fridge cleaned out and a few flowers I had left from a few weeks ago planted finally. It took me a while to get the spot ready for them it was so full of weeds. I feel like that in recovery. Pulling out the weeds that have grown up while neglecting myself and planting beautiful colourful petunias in their place. Now to fertilize and watch them grow and bloom!
Btw, I was in GA for three years before I did the steps. I felt ready. No time line as far as I’m concerned. It’s 9 years in the fall that I truly started recovery and turning my life around. I haven’t made it through nearly half the steps and it’s been said they don’t even have to be done in order. I am a work in progress just like my life. Bless you Monica. Thanks for your brilliant thoughts on IDI’s post about recovery vs abstinence. Have a good night. I will be heading for a lay down after chat is closed.
take care, Laura xo
