Getting it done ;-)
Permalink  

Okay, I gotta get it done!  I gotta get back to the place where I am happy with who I am.  You see, I have become some kind of person that I do not like or would not want to be around.  I need a tune up and it starts with me.  I have to take care of me/change my oil so to speak. 

I am starting my day over right now.  I am going to finish this post and not dread the next thing that comes my way.  I will approach it with an open mind and kind heart.  I will not feel defeated and fearful.  I will feel positive and confident.  Instead of the mood swings controlling me, I will swing them.  When I see that I am being closed minded and cold hearted to myself and others, I will swing my attitude in a positive direction.  That direction for me is to have faith and to put it in HP instead of people around me.

Sincerely,
Tonya

Hi Sincerely,

I just wanted to let you know you are not alone.  I struggle every day.  Especially with fear.  I could write a book on what I fear.

I wish I had words of wisdom.  I just wanted to let you know you were heard and you're not alone.

InPain

Great Post Tonya,

Living with the disease of alcoholism does cause us to develop many unhealthy negative defenses.  Your determination to grow and change is admirable.

You are worth it.

Aloha Tonya!!

Al-Anon has a "Just for Today" Pamphlet that at most meetings is free.  Get one or
two as a wallet insert and bookmark.   I memorized mine and amazingly my whole
life changed.

Just for today I will live through this day only and not try to tackle all of my
problems at once.  I can do something for 12 hours that would appal me if I
thought it would take me a lifetime.

(((((hugs))))) smile

I got up today feeling negative and decided I needed to start my day by reading here. I am with you on starting the day over right now. We are both going to have a positive and confident day. YAY!!
Thanks sincerely

((((Tonya)))),

Nothing changes if nothing changes.  The beauty of recovery is that when we slip (I've slipped so many times I can't count) is that we can restart at any point.  Lots of times I go back to Step 1 and say "I am powerless over......." and put in whatever is relevant for that time and place.  You're on the right track.  Keep it up.  Love and blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty smile

Even though I read this 2 days after the post, it was what I needed to read tonight. Thanks.
