It's Not All About Me?

2009-12-31T08:35:09Z

Today Don and I decided to clean the garage, something I had been dreading for months. While I was slowly going through things, pondering their meaning to my life and wondering whether they should go or stay and, if so, where they should go,...

Happy New Year! 2010. It's hard to believe. I went to a party last night at a friend, Debbie's. house. She has a beautiful home that is comfy and perfect for entertaining. I have had to fight off some jealousy when I compare it to my...

First Step on the path.

2008-01-01T08:29:57Z

Hello and Greetings. I joined this group because I know that the road to recovery is long (not to sound redundant but it is) Mine is a tale woven for many many years..unfortunately about half of my life. A story of suicide, rape, abandonment, is...

Character D-Fex: An Un-Poem of Love & Acceptance

2009-10-29T23:14:50Z

I am tired of character deffects. Tired of lugging them around like a recovery badge of honor. Can't I just be human? Human with faults, in acceptance of them. Not trying to remove them all. Not asking anyone or anyTHING to take them from me. Jus...

Crap, crap!

2009-10-29T03:47:32Z

Have to go chair a meeting in 45 minutes and still don't know what the crap to talk about. I hate it when people ask me in advance and I have to think about for days before I do it. It always makes me lose my mind. I was thinking....relationships,...

A step in the right direction...

2009-10-16T15:14:59Z

I finally have been able to go to a meeting. I didn't want to go. I wanted to quit recovery. I didn't want to relapse, I just didn't want to deal with people anymore. I'm so glad I went though. It was what I needed. Even though my depression isn't...

What Now?

2009-10-15T23:15:54Z

Why must I feel like I have to have a plan? What happened to "one day at a time"? Now that I am single, I want to figure out what my entire future is going to be. I guess I have a lot of fear. When I was with Aaron, I had a plan. I wasn't crazy a...

It's Gonna Be OK

2009-10-15T05:48:52Z

Not right now, but one day, it will be OK. One day I will actually enjoy being single, I will know what to do with my freedom. Maybe I'll even make some friends, finally. My sponsor said I come across as aloof. Normally, this would hurt me, but I...

Acceptance.

2009-10-14T17:37:22Z

I read pages 417- 420 or whatever out of the Big Book last night, because it's all about acceptance. I read some acceptance passages from Each Day a New Beginning as well. Basically, they all say that God doesn't make mistakes, and we're exactly ...

Life Will Be Beautiful Again

2009-10-14T22:35:51Z

My blog says: Life is beautiful, and so are you. I still believe that, even in the darkest times. I may feel heartache and sadness, but I don't feel depression and hopelessness like I used to. I know that this, too, shall pass. Even though it hur...
