Really get that JP. Right there with you. Along with Geordie, I had the same attitude, which is as crazy as a truckload of crunchy nut cornflakes. Like that expression. One of the biggest challenges is to fight to get ourselves back because we lost a whole lot more than money. As jonny posted earlier iam fighting to get my life back. So must you. And our favourite expression on here, baby steps. I listened to a program yesterday on getting more out of failure than success. We must not give up even though we want to. I am certainly someone who completely gave up. I am taking the baby steps. I dont expect a magic wand but I am asking for heavens help. I still have my ho e by a thread. My next battle is to stop things getting cut off. I don’t know how, so I am putting that to my higher power. This addiction crushes us in every way. We need to fight back. I appreciate being pain free, being able to walk through the park which I have just done. Simple things. When we look Around us there is a lot of suffering and I am who really feels that. I have had cancer but recovered, many do not. There are small things we can learn to be grateful for. Be patient with yourself, have compassion for yourself. You have been through the mother of all addictions that takes everything from us. You will come out the other end jp.
