Good morning Carole,
We can be very hard on ourselves can’t we? Never recognizing our own accomplishments and steps taken, always looking for what still ***** to be done, changed, “fixed” in our lives. I’m glad you have everyone here to give you feedback and remind you of all the big changes you’ve made. Emotions make each change, each step so complicated in our minds. Keeping one foot moving in front of the other can be a challenge but when you turn and look back it can be amazing the distance that gets covered. It takes courage to make the changes you have Carole, give yourself a pat on the back for finding that courage in yourself and working on making a better life that will be true to you. And thanks for the reminder in your example. Being true to ourselves is what is so important in recovery. I’m very proud of you 🙂
take care,
Laura
