What I feed~grows!


Last week was by far one of the most stressful weeks I have had in the past 6 mths-right on up to yesterday when my camera broke.   (I have a HUGE sentimental attachment to it as it was the first and pretty much last, come to think of it, thing that I bought myself when I began recovery and began focusing on me.  So it breaking was a tough one, and with no camera repair shops in my town I'm not sure what to do as finances are super tight right now.)

The week was filled with all kinds of chaos but I came out ok. I set some boundaries for the first time I can remember, for me, and my well being, and felt amazingly good about it and a huge sense of relief at my choices. Made my F2F Friday and knew it was where I needed to be.....of course HP never lets me down and we spoke of exactly what I needed to hear.

I picked the phone up yesterday and decided to start this week off with a call to my sponsor-a great way to begin the week I think.

I realized last night,like a huge lightbulb going off in my head, that what I feed-grows (now I''ve heard this many times over in AlAnon but for some reason last night I was like WOW that makes perfect sense), and if I continue to feed the anger, hurt and resentment it will multiply.  So I am choosing to start this week off feeding the love and happiness and gratitude in my life.  I am starting it off focusing on One Day at a Time and enjoying and living that day for all it's worth.

Thanks for letting me share.
Shelly
