cynical- about the scars, that really struck me. I have huge scars from surgeries, and I'm not ashamed of them at all. I wear my bikini and I like to think that they are like tattoos I've earned by getting through hell. I am not disfigured, I am resilient, and that is what resilient looks like.
but I hadn't thought of other things like that, that the experiences that rip me up will leave their marks, but that its not only ok, (and I shouldn't feel like others would judge) but that others will see my strength and resilience.
thanks!
and to LMN, yeppers. I joined around the same time as you. I reconciled with AH, and now a year and a bit later, we are back at square 1 and I feel dumb for not just moving on and away before. I guess I read a lot of these posts and I could take on the information with my rational mind, knowing that sobriety without relapse was unlikely, but I still let my heart take the lead and I thought we would be an exception.
but no one is really an exception to humanity are they.
but I'm still here. Lets do this. together.
we've got to figure it out eventually.
