I am realizing that thinking good healthy positive thoughts hasn't been a habit of mine.After ending my relationship with my A I thought I would be very peaceful and happy.Well it turns out my little brain is my own worst abuser at times and I can work myself into quite a frenzy.Something like chicken little,the sky is falling sort of thinking.I just finished my first semester of college and a letter came from school.My teenage daughter wanted to open it.It was my final grades.She said if you have an A I will give you 50.00.I laughed and said I don't think you will have to worry.She opened the letter and sure enough there was an A.I screamed.I was so happy to have that A because I worked very hard in that class.I am so glad that I took this risk,I listened to my inner voice instead of fear and school is saving my life right now, I love it and I was terrified to do it.Someone said if it scares you do it,because if you are comfortable you are doing what you have always done.
Congratulations on your A ! You are doing so good Mary
Keep on working the program. We need to change US
inside And that takes time. Self love, self care and self
Acceptance are not easy when our inner voice does not
Believe it.
It takes awareness, acceptance And then action. The three
A's. You are proving to yourself with the help Of your HP
just what you can do.
College has helped build me up in so many ways. I am glad you are stepping outside of your comfort zone. I used to think I was the only one that had the stinkin thinkin thought process, but when I found al-anon many others said they related to that. My sponsor always told me instead of thinking about everything that could go wrong change my thinking to all that could go right. It takes time and recovery really is worth it, but it is about baby steps and you are heading in the right direction. Sending you love and support!
