Thumbs up TOPIC: Like Avocados We Bruise Easily. Do You?

Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.

By the grace of HP and people
like you here in SR I havent
found it necessary to pick up
a drink of alcohol since 8-11-90.

For that and you I am truely
grateful.



Like Avocados we bruise easily.
Do you?

In recovery we have a chance to
take inventories of ourselves, our
lives, situations, people, places &
things.

Some of us r more sensitive to
others and we get our feeligs
hurt. Our egos get bruised.
Or in an abusive situation our
bodies get bruised. In marriages
or relationships, one or the other
gets a bruised heart.

And the biggie is alcohol and
drugs that bruise every ounce
of our beings, souls, minds.

I am one of those sensitive
people in recovery that has
has been bruised from one
or more things mentioned
above.

From physical and verbal
abuse it bruised my emotions
filling me with lots of fears.

Lost jobs due to the inability
to take orders from adult
authority bruised my ability
to hold on to a job.

A marriage of 25 yrs ended
but gave me strength to carry
on independantly on my own
but could have bruised my
relationship with family members.

Bruises can be healed in
ourselves with proper help
with recovery programs offered
to us.

With that Im not as badly bruised
inside or out like I use to be.

Are you a badly bruised Avocado?
How did you get bruised?

This avocado today is well ripped
and ready to be used to make a
great guacamoli dip.
