withdrawal from drama---feels so weird
Permalink  

I am getting to know my friend Lia and she is WONDERFUL.

She has been opening up to me and sharing her life issues and her own wounds as well as identifying with mine.

It feels so good to be able to help her and to be helped by her.

I am so used to the drama of an empty, dry well of a relationship with a practicing alkie.

I feel like I am in withdrawal from my addiction to drama.

Carol

I can relate ~ when I first was able to focus on myself and just - me- omg, I thought I would die of boredom!  I know I was addicted to chaos from growing up in a home like that.  Learning to stop creating it for myself, too was new and felt very foreign.  I plowed through anyway and tried to enjoy all the extra time I had (that used to be spent obsessing on others) and actually relax a bit.

Keep dilignetly working your program, focusing on you, detaching from other's issues & behavior and enjoy the extra time.  Maybe u could try something u never have but always wanted to.  Keep working it!  Take care of YOU, whatver that looks like!

Enjoy go slow keep the focus on yourself , don't loose yorself in another relataionship your way too important to do that to yourself again .   Louise
