Getting back up

I know when I left the ex A I felt that I had nothing.  No money, no home, no truck,  no health, no job, no friends (he had made sure he isolated me well).  I started over.

I got back up again.

Now I am making twice what I made last year (still isn't enough but its on the path).

I moved out of the awful place I shared with the alcoholics (a new place came right out of the blue - it has its problems too! but no alcoholics/addicts in my face day and night).  I don't interrupt a drug deal when I go to the bathroom.  What a relief!

I don't feel lonely anymore (too busy for that)

I feel resilient, self confident and positive.  The future is no longer full of fear and anxiety. 

I got back up. ............

Maresie

Dear Marsie

What a powerful share I truly appreciate your honesty and steadfastness!!

It is indeed often a hard painful road that we travel as we recover and sharing the journey, the tears, the joys the successes are so very important

You are an inspiration 

PS I love Orchids as wellsmile

Maresie,

Congratulations, that is great!  I did not see that you were able to secure your own place.   Perhaps it was when I was out of town.  What a miracle that you have a peaceful home.

I had not announced I had moved...I have been moving and too exhausted to talk about it.  It is progress.  It is certainly not yet what I want but I am making progress towards that..

I am willing.

Its been almost 5 years for me to get back on my feet again...

I'm still pretty wobbly too.

My pets are thriving...

Maresie.

I'm so glad you are seeing all these positive changes in your life. And isn't it nice to know that it's all because of your own decisions and hard work? SO proud of you!
