Letting go
Permalink  

Lazt.night I Lear ex that an ex.boyfriend of mine died.  I found out yet another ex boyfriend.diex Some time last year.  Both of them died of cancer.

The amazing thing is when I received the news I.went straight into forgiveness. 

I #let go#  

I can't say I can do that too often.  In fact I would have said that it was impossibls.before. 

Today I.amgoing to see an.alcoholic who.has been a.bain.for me for years.  He is nasty, semeaning, sabotaging 

but also.an.alcoholiic (functioning).   This.is likely to be the last time I.see.him he is selling His house. 

I want to be able to #let go# because I don't need to carry all that resentment around. 

I have steered myself to detach detach detach (t will be 5 minutes maz)?  Now I want to let go too. 

Dream big!   I will have to be.super.boundariex ti do that. 

Maresie

((Maresie)) Your hard work in program has helped you to let go of the anger with your past BFs and find forgivness. Good Job.
Today I suggest that you continue using program as you suggested-stay in the moment and in the day , use the serenity prayer, detach and remember that your serenity is most precious

I have not had a relationship with that man for a long time but I did wonder how he was. I didn't have the wherewithall to track him down.  

I believe it is only when they are dead I am willing to give up my resentments.  Otherwise I have them stored up and cherished and play with them all the time.

Maresie.
