Remember to be gentle with yourself during this process.

You didn't arrive in this situation overnight, so don't plan to fix it overnight either.

I felt overwhelmed with too many choices at one point in my recovery. I had a potential job offer to accept or decline, I had to find housing for myself and my children, I had to decide if I was ready to file for divorce, I had a deadline at my current job, etc....

I picked up the phone and called someone from my alanon group. She listened while I cried and told of all the decisions I needed to make. This is what she told me:

"You do have a lot of decisions to make for your future.
Ask yourself this: Do you need to have all the answers by 3 p.m. today?
No? Then give yourself time to discover all your options."

I have also learned this from my friends at SR:
"Be patient, more will be revealed"

Trust your HP, the answers will come.

Peace and (((hugs))) to you!
