........... I go to bed spiritually healthy, detached, calm......and then the disease attacks me in the night.
I WILL NOT engage with the disease, the disease cannot give me healthy, TRUTHFUL responses. The disease will tell me what I want to hear if I ask......... I no longer ask
I won't be someone's sloppy 'second'.......I won't allow the bottle to rule to me, to usurp me.....I deserve better....I honour and nurture myself...........I didn't always.
So I lay quiet and re-focused, worked down my gratitude list till the trembling stopped.
I am not an addict...........I am FREE to make healthy choices.
This new day is all mine, nothing and no one can take it from me, unless I allow it.
Thank you for your share I love the fact no matter what I choose what kind of day I have, good, bad or ugly. I love the power in that feeling. Good day, bad day ... hmm .. some days it's easier to choose the bad day, .. I'll work harder for the good day any day of the week. :)
Hugs, P :)

Good morning, I too woke up as a ball of nerves. I took a day of vacation and am spending some alone time with god. I'm choosing to give myself what I need. Normally I would have pushed myself to go to work and that's not where I need to be today.
