I love this thread, Rita. This inspires me to write my own list of some things that I did get to do today, now that my life is free of ABF:
I prayed to a God of my understanding.
I got up when I felt like it and made breakfast that I wanted.
I spent my money today only for me and my son.
I worked on my recovery.
I worked on my own progress in my career.
I worked as much overtime as I wanted to.
I happily bought food only for my son and my consumption.
I called whoever I felt like and talked however long I wanted and didn't have to erase it off of my cell.
I watched what I wanted to watch on tv.
I went to the meeting I wanted to go to and sat next to the person I wanted to.
I will go to bed when I feel like it alone and sleep in perfect peace.
If there sounds like there are a lot of I, me, and my in here, well, I have some catching up to do with myself...doncha know?
Love,
KJ
