Well there was no arguing at the table....no belching.....no stealing my fruit from my plate and peace and quiet.......
so you like g/saling too??? yea, believe it or not, it was my "quick fix" to stuff I was not dealing with...i was addicted to it....HAD to go....would buy just any ole crap and come home and be ashamed like "why did i buy this???".....now?? w/recovery, i am a diferent "shopper"....i get what i need.....stuff for the dogs so they don't chew my stuff.....i get stuff i can come home with and say "yea, i needed that and what a deal i got".......i also know what i can afford to spend and stay w/in the limits......it is not an addiction for me anymore....if i cannot go??? so ok, next week.....its not like i feel withdrawal like in the past......i guess i was the "poor man's" shopaholic......
today , addiction free, i had FUN....i noticed the "non compulsion" last year, last summer....i could "take stuff or leave stuff" and it was stuff i needed or really wanted........great feeling.....
I attended my home group this AM, it was great as always. I rested and took a nap which I needed very much (and made me feel so much better) I went to a movie that I totally LOVED last night. I found what I needed at the thrift store this afternoon at the right price. I saw an al anon friend just walking down the street on my way home from the thrift store (I love it when that happens). I made myself some pizza from scratch (its cooling right now). I will write in my journal some more and I will do some reading. I will go to bed early (I love my bed sooo much). I will get up early and go run a couple of miles in the AM.
EXERCISING, EATING BETTER,KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE, MAKING MYSELF DO THINGS I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO DO. BELIEVING THAT I CAN DO THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IN RECOVERY. WHAT A CONCEPT! I AM DOING & LIVING THE PROGRAM. KATHLEEN
