information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
If you did something for yourself today be it as small as reading from one of our readers to help calm yourself when you noticed the fear and worry, I'd say you've made progress. If you noticed the fear and worry and didn't pick up the phone to try to reach your son again, I'd say you've made progress. If you practiced Step 3 and/or Step 11, I'd say you made progress. If you turned your son back into his HP's hands with a little prayer or not, I'd say you made progress. If you practiced HALT, I'd say you made progress. If you did anything like I've listed that I didn't list, you've made progress. (((R)))
Throughout the day, I find myself going back & forth between worry and fear for my son to calm and acceptance.
Am I making any progress??
I agree w/KN1228....you are experiencing your feelings...becoming aware....in your body....Good sign.........I am dong the same thing...different provocation, but same thing.....ok and peace then fear and anxiety about this darn financial hardship I am in right now.....they say "this too shall pass" and I am waiting now for 5 MONTHS for something to "turn"
Sending you healing and peace energy about your son.....Can't imagine how bad that has to be....I had to break off contact w/younger daughter b/c of her cruel head games she likes to play on me, but at least I know she is safe....I just cannot go near her anymore....I am gr8ful she is "ok" , however....You guys who have the kids drinking , I feel for all of you......
