Oh, wow, there were quite a few things but here's the highlights:
- a nursing career
- financial security
- my freedom
- the trust of family and friends (HAVE gotten that back, thank you to recovery)
- my home and everything in it, including special treasures that I can never get back
- 3 cars and an RV
- fairly new laptop and cell phone
- my self worth and dignity
Everything in my home, I lost because I trusted the man I was with - another addict, but it ultimately falls on me.
Thanks to recovery, I've yet to get most of this stuff "back" (or replacements) but I've gotten a greater appreciation for even the smallest of things.
Good topic, ((Sharon))!
Hugs and prayers,
Amy
