Then I started taking a deep honest look at my choices in life, my behaviors and thought and started figuring out where I fit in with the concepts of codependency and being a ACOA. I had some individual therapy sessions to help me find my way through all the confusion and to unlearn behaviors and thinking patterns that are self destructive. At the same time I also prayed and meditated deeping my faith in my HP and my understanding of what my HP wants for me.

It is hard work to begin figuring out yourself and why you do what you do and think what you think and feel what you feel. But the effort and pain that it involves is well worth it as you begin to become a healthier person.
