Feeling guilty, set me straight
Bed opened up at the Rehab.. AH is currently at the ER awaiting medical clearance & transport back to the Rehab to be admitted.
It's the first night in a looong time that will be peaceful. I feel lighter.
I know this is the perfect opportunity to be working on my own issues and I know an Alanon meeting should be in my immediate future. Instead I feel like goofing off & spoiling myself a bit (at least this weekend)... But I feel GUILTY about it!!!
Why?! It's not wrong to want to be a little self indulgent, right?!

So true... and I thought the 'voice' was safely away in Rehab... not in my head.
Amazing how this has shed some light on how very far I am from where I thought I was...
Self-Indulgence IS going to be my middle name this weekend - No Guilt involved. I'm going to do some things I have enjoyed in the past but have prevented myself from doing lately.

You 100% deserve to be self indulgent. When my husband recently went for treatment I felt the same way. Like the weight of the world was off my shoulders, and for that time I didn't need to worry.
Guilt is when you put the words "should" or "shouldn't" infront of a sentence.
I replace should with could.
I could go to A Anon but toinight I choose to do XYZ instead.
Dont should on yourself. You deserve some fun. maybe you dont meet a meeting right now. it will be there when you choose it.
