And now I know for sure which plan to focus on.
Amen!
Validation for me is like that moment when I creep down the stairs at night in my PJs after hearing a scary noise and I find the cat knocking books off the shelf. Phew! From crazy, mind spinning thoughts ground to a halt.
It's a long exhaling breath that roots me in reality. Now I know my enemy and my enemy knows me.
Whatever your plans are, take a picture of the vicodin and those jeans to remember the moment our journal about the discovery, the lying and denial, and you feelings over it. It's very easy to lose focus and need more validation down the line to revive your resolve. It may help to have the reminder to look at.
Proud of you!
