hope2be,
Thanks for getting this bumped up . . . new month, new year . . . a great time for me to get back to the basics!
Reading through the older posts I saw step 1 in a way I hadn't before. I can admit that I am powerless over my son and his struggle with recovery from substance addiction, I can admit that I am powerless over so many things in my life, my daughter and her life, my siblings, my coworkers, etc.
But I hadn't realized that my inability to open my mail, put my clean clothes away, keep my apartment clean, etc. were signs that my life is still unmanageable. I have work to do on myself to understand why I'm hiding my head in the sand, so to speak. I sabotage myself by staying up too late and being tired all day. I spend hours playing computer solitaire when my apt. needs a good cleaning, etc. What's up with that?
Begin at the beginning
