As to sticking with my program and remembering the tools that's helped me through some tough sit.ive often thought about how many times I've been in my recovery and dropped it over 20 year span,wow,long time .Today my new tool that keeps popping in my head every time I feel myself wanting to run away so to speak,lol,not reality though just a thought,the tool that keeps popping into my brain is...........I may only have 1 recovery left in me ,so that being said gets me back on track in a hurry,cause I'm half a century older now and this is prolly my last recovery,been 4 mths mostly day for day with little days off,so now my thinking is also that this is a everyday process,,not every other month or years not working it,as for me it's everyday ,I noticed yesterday that as I was going about my fun days out and about with friends that my thinking was alanon,alanon,,,,,,and my tool kit.im working it ....for today is all I can do and it works,the more I put into it seems the more I get out of it..done. Thanks for listening , hugs and more hugs ,hugs are HUGS are FREE btw,so I'm sending out gazillions ......lu
Thanks for all your replies,now this what to look forward to is replies,I'm try to reply to some posts ,I'm doing better at it ,it's just the trying to put the focus back onto ourselves instead of wanting to complain ,complain and complain I get stuck in,it seems,I'm gradually getting better,I didn't get here over night so I'm not getting better over night it took years actually 53 yrs to get here......hugs...lu
Your awareness about not getting here overnight and not getting well overnight either is a phrase that has been mentioned in recovery for a long time...It is true and it helped me back when I was a newbie. It helped to teach me patience and perseverance. Thank you. (((hugs)))
Thank you Jerry,and patience and perseverance I'm learning quickly that working step one has been a very slow process for me ,and still haven't got to step 2 ,which is great cause little by little is how I'm gonna learn.....thanks for your great Esh, and mrs Betty you both have always been a inspiration to me over the years,love hearing from you.
