One day at a time....
Permalink  

For today, I have realized that since coming to Alanon I have improved my emotional state...I am no longer trapped in my mind of past events...able to live in Today...Break free from Yesterday and not step into Tomorrow...I can feel the sadness being lifted from my eyes and a new way of life approaching for me.  
I have found the courage to change the things I can and accept the things I cannot change...turning it over to my HP and them over to theirs.  It is such a great feeling to actually Detach with Love and be able to focus more on me and my needs and wants instead of theirs.  Learning to break free from trying to "fix" them...using my Alanon tools...daily readers...and working the steps have helped me so much.
For today I am grateful for the program and the support I gain from others when I hear their ESH...I can take what I like and leave what I don't...apply it to my own life...living each day each moment...one day at a time....

I have so much gratitude for all the things you wrote about too.
I had no idea how stirred up my emotions were and what they were
doing to me mentally, emotionally and physically.  Even though I may talk more honestly with out stuffing emotions, the effort still makes my muscles  very tense or
shakey.  A walk or just being out doors in nature helps me to release the physical
tension as I become more accustomed to speaking honestly what I mean.  I am starting to see where just a routine of outdoors & walking can almost be a preventative help so that I relax easier more often.  So much to learn and so very much to be grateful for al anon and this MIP board too.  Thanks for posting and you are doing great!!  hugs, ddub

Thanks Brightmommy,

Your ESH really articulaterd how the program works and the great benefits of using the simple tools alanon offers.

Your reminder  that all I have to be concerned about is this day only, Living in the Now is what it is all about.

Thanks again
