Well Im off on a weekend retreat, leaving tonight at 6pm my time. I was given a list of items to bring with me and was told to think about one topic that I would like to focus on. That's a hard one for me....I have so many things that I would like to change, improve or think about. I called the leader and asked if she could give me some suggestions of what others have had in the past? She suggested Career, Spouse, Kid, or a Personal issue. For me this is like a chinese smorg...so much on my plate, cant eat it all but still want more.
I am struggling here, I have anger issues, (ya I know...would really like to deal with it) I also of course struggle with my EX being an active A. I have the controling mother issue, my mom still treats me like Im her teenage daughter living at home. (Im 36 have been married 2times and have given natural birth to 3 children). I also have an issue of insecurity, what will people think?? Meaning if I do not keep a tidy house or if I dress causal one day at work and not in a suit? stupid stuff.....
Anyways I guess my god will guide me in the right direction.
Thanks for listening and I look forward to learning additional tools this weekend that will help me move forward in my recovery program
