feeling better.
Permalink  

Hi everyone,

just wanted to let you all know i am feeling a lot better today.  I reached out to al anon memebers and the support i recieved fro this site and memebers of my group pulled me through a difficult time again.  As per usual there was a lesson within the pain from my Hp in fact more than one. 

Firstly the demands and expectations I put on myself are crazy I am over responsible and do not take very good care of me I have lots of shoulds.  Well these demands have brought me to my knees so this time thanks to al anon I have reached out and got some support.  Ireally need to slow down and to start looking at how unmanageable my life has become  I have took time off work.  I have been out for lunch with an al anon friend today.  I have been using my phone.  I am goig to a meeting tomorrow.  I am having a lyin tomorrow I needed to give me some TLC.

thank you all for your support I have to learn to be resposible for my welfare xxx

What is the slogan we hear over and over in Al-Anon ?............."It works if you work it."

You reached out for support and found it.

You went out to lunch with an Al-Anon friend.

You used your phone.

You are going to a f2f meeting tomorrow night.

You started taking care of yourself first.

Yep, "It works if you work it !!"

HUGS,
RLC

Glad to hear it!

One thing about us codependents===sometimes we expect ourselves to be super-human and are reluctant to reach out for help==I'm glad you were able to do so.

Tracy...also trust that God is looking out for you (or your HP as you understand him)...that will relieve some burden. Faith replaces fear.

I love what everyone else had to say. Keep taking care of yourself, it is sometimes incredible the pressure we put on ourselves from day to day. Give yourself a break and Let Go and Let God! I am all about seeing when I loaded my plate to full of busyness lately and saying to my HP well this is too much here is some of what I don't want to handle right now. I decided sometime recently I traded in my cape for a lounge chair and I okay with that fully, lol.
