one day at a time - Al-Anon Family Group

Thanks for all your kind
responses and for all the shares I've read today. I know I need to just
take it one day one step at a time. Life can seem so overwhelming but
as long as I do the best I can and take it one day at a time I will be
ok. I also need to spend more time with my HP. I realized I've been
neglecting that lately. It's strange how last week was one of the most
worrisome weeks and yet I felt such a sense of peace and relief just
surrendering it all over to my HP knowing I would be taken care of. Yet

about in 30 days I'm letting it steal my joy. I know I need the courage
to make the changes I can make in my life. Like getting away from my
aunt and finding a new job. Getting my GED and so on. It can be
daunting but I just need to take what I learned from last week what
blessed me and helped me so much just surrendering it. I also will make
time tonight to spend it with my HP. I've been making excuses about why
I can't lately but that's all they really are excuses. I need to do
what works for me which I haven't been doing much of lately. My program
spending time with HP my yoga and meditation journaling my gratitude
list. For some reason I've been putting it to the wayside which makes
no sense to me at all. But, I am determined to get back on track and
hopefully won't let it slip again.

Yeah I know what you mean about sometimes just wanting to sleep and not wanting to do what's good for me. But realizing it really does help so even though I might not feel like it it's good for me to take care of me and do what helps me get through the day.
