I understand wanting to return to what
I call it as 'familiarity'. When my little
family moved to Houston yrs ago, I really
never wanted to leave my 'home', the city
where I grew up in. Baton Rouge.
Houston opened up many doors
to my kids with so many opportunities
and space to grow and mature in which
they did.
Me, I left my recovery support of 7
yrs and all of B.R. that was my comfort
zone and familiarity.
In Houston I was Restless, irriritable
and discontent and wanted to return
'home' terribly. However, being married,
25 yrs. I had no idea how to leave or what
kind of job I could get to support myself
on my own.
I used my recovery program and faith
to guide me, strengthen me, to do the
foot work and eventually lead me out
of Houston and back home where I never
wanted to leave in the first place.
My husband at that time helped me
move into an apt. and I had a job lined
up for me to help support myself.
Our marriage did end peacefully and
we both have moved on and remarried.
Now, today, here I am 7 yrs married
living in my husband home, retired and
enjoying my garden of paradise we
created for us to enjoy each and everyday
we sit outside in our backyard.
I did the footwork to get me back
home and now I am more happier,
healthier, content, honest, sober
25yrs. and would never take my
familiarity and comfort zone for
granted.
Its a gift and blessing to finally
be 'HOME' where my heart is.
Return 'home' to your familiarity,
comfort zone for you and no one else.
Even if you can find a newer home
that is yours or have a way a job to
support urself to move back in ur little
home and let him move out to his own
place.
Get someone to help you with this
process to regain your independence
to stand and live on your own, strong,
solid foundation built on faith and inner
strength. Heart, mind and soul.
