I am making progress in my getting to stop hoarding & getting more organized! I spent a lot of my weekend going through & sorting stuff. I still haven't really gotten rid of anything except I threw away some things.
I have so many things that are fairly new--like clothes for instance that I am having trouble parting with at this time. There are many places I could take some of my old stuff to in my town. There are lots of needy people who could use my jeans that don't fit anymore.
But..other than getting to the point of desperation I am doing well. Still keeping the slogan progress not perfection close to my mind. I could really beat myself up because I am disorganized & sometimes lazy about just about everything.
But...I read & keep my mind alert. I am only 43 & I feel so old mentally. I am constantly forgetting things & remembering to do stuff later. Luckily, the things I forget I can usually do later.
Alanon is very important to me, too. I am not always successful in my efforts to get healthy. There, again, progress not perfection. I can only really do what is in front of me & try to do God's will for me. I am hanging in still to see if He will restore me to complete sanity!
You're turning into an ole wise person Kath...LOL Go put the stuff in the car and with love drive to where the needy are and "Turn it over". With Love? isn't that HP's will? (((((hugs)))))
I may be much better when it comes to alcoholics and my reactions...but my friends are still waiting for the complete sanity part to kick in...as am I!! I'll give HP some credit but really, it's an inside job. The sea didn't open to give me a clear path. I had to dig in the sand.
