”Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead,
focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward
finding the answer.”
Denis Waitley

There
may come a powerful moment in your recovery where you can look at your past
with a new set of eyes. In reflection you may discover the ability to filter
out the double life of your addict and focus in on the real person that was
struggling through life. Getting to this point in recovery can help you see
the true underlying issues that the addiction has kept under wraps for all
these years.
There
comes a time for many addicts where they need to grieve the loss of their
addiction to fully relinquish control. This may happen as a letter, full of
feelings towards letting go in order to free oneself to move forward. We can
gain great power in our lives by going through a formal farewell and letting
ourselves be part of the natural process of losing a part of who we are.

Affirmation

changing. I am ready move on and
continue to change.

These thoughts are part of my personal journal - reflections of where I am and have been in my recovery, but also where I want to be. My words come from my heart, and moments of clarity when I am best connected with my Higher Power. May God grant you serenity in reviewing my humble beginnings and my continuing path of recovery.
