Not forgetting the bad but letting it go
Feeling good about hitting day 7 and really feel I have the support and willingness to finally never take that first drink again.
But... Of course I'm on the emotional roller coaster. Part of my brain is supportive and strong, but the other part just keeps letting all the bad things I did over many years haunt me and make me want to drink them away.
I'm thinking of when I have time to myself of making a list of all the bad things & decisions I made over years that hurt me, family and friends. I know it will be pages but it will get them out of my brain to address & accept that it happened and there is nothing I can do it about it now.
Then light it on fire (safely of course). I won't forget the things but it will be a symbolic way for me to let it go and move on with my new chapter of life.
Thoughts?
