Phew!

I was driving to work this morning and I started crying and cried for much of the 75 Minute journey. They where tears of sadness and joy. Tears of healing. I actually don’t need to understand what this was about its healing for me and I have realised since then that it’s the gratitude (joy) that I feel at being in recovery and beginning to get glimpses of the life that is possible as I open up.

Thanks for being here with me on this journey and thank you for helping me realise the love and put aside the fear.

Kevin

I've experienced that joy (tears included) - and it's beautiful.

Thanks for sharing, Kevin.

It's such a good thing to cry for joy instead of misery. I have been doing the same here and there. So refreshing isnt it?

I was C and S for 7 months. Frozen. Started crying at 7. Cried

through 8 and 9. Now into 10, and joy has overtaken much

of the sorrow. A shiny new feeling. Indeed.

So happy for you Nogard.

Love you Nogard.

Tears are a form of release, and so good for your recovery. I am happy for you!
