The New Year
Permalink  

Looking back at some of my posts it was quite a painful year,I shed a lot of tears,There were days the pain was so intense I didn't think I was going to survive it, But I did. I am discovering amazing things about myself,abilities I didn't even know I had.I am starting to really enjoy the changes that are coming in my life,I am learning to make healthier choices for myself.I want to wish everyone a peaceful new year and if you are struggling,believe me the pain will subside and you will find a way.When I started this program I had pretty much lost everything. Somehow I survived and am able to continue to make even more choices that enrich my life,what a blessing it is to be able to finally live my life.I was terrified at first,but now I find relief in being in charge of my life.I am no longer chained to an illness.I will never again be sitting and crying because the person I am counting on just spent all the bill money on drugs,or is screaming at me.I am learning to value myself and that feels good.I have hope today,and that is something that I lost.How I did it,I was miserable and wanted my life to be different,I just dove into this program and did what my therapist suggested and it worked.Peace to all.
