Today's passage from Hope for Today describes how I have forgiven in the past...accepting unacceptable behaviors...I was more less trying to forget it than to forgive. That is why I sunk deep into the past events and relive them over and over in my mind. I have not truly worked through the resentments I hold from the past during active addiction. I know I must learn how to protect myself from the things that hurt me most...I must learn to not allow others to control my emotions and grab hold of my own emotions...Learn what makes ME happy, ME sad, etc. and move forward in a new healthy way of living One day at a Time!!

Yes you do... Sounds like you are taking the steps one day at a time... Easy does it I am told... You will get there... Just take it slow, and listen to the HP... You will be surprized what you can learn from them alone...
