A bit of gratitude to my MIP family~
Permalink  

    I came here yesterday and posted.  I was feeling very down about myself and my recovery, feeling very alone in it all.   Feeling like I was a huge disappointment to myself and others here and that I was talking the talk but not walking the walk.  I have been going through a bit of depression since EABF showed up at work on my birthday and have been dealing with that also, and have been struggling to get "back on track"(((UGHHH HATE that phrase sooo much))).  I felt like I had little to offer and shouldn't even be here, taking away from others, if I couldn't get it together for more than a day or two at a time.
    What I found here yesterday was compassion like I have never known.  Not one person jumped on the "beating myself up band wagon", but many were quick to send messages or posts and thank me for my honesty.  I was just AMAZED at that....
     In all the wrong I have been doing lately, I must also have been doing something right, to deserve the love of so many wonderful, giving people.  I went to sleep last night feeling that maybe I wasn't such a bad person and wasn't messing up like no one had ever done before, maybe I was right where I needed to be, as uncomfortable as I have been being here.  I went to sleep last night with a feeling of belonging and serenity for the first time in weeks.
    My MIP family is truly a blessing in my life and I am grateful for each and every one of you!

Shelly,

We all have bad days, We all "fall off the wagon." Normies do to, they just call it a bad day. And those poor folks dont't have a program or support board like we do! Keep coming back, I love reading your shares, and your experiences give me hope!
