Another small step forward.

Just a little sharing. These last several weeks since I have moved out have been a real eye opener. I am much more comfortable in my recovery and while I still have occasional flare ups of anger they are nothing like what they were before.

What I have noticed now is still another change in my thinking. I don't feel like I am recovering from something any more. I feel like I am recovering my self. It's a subtle change but the best way to describe it is that I started off by turning away from the darkness and away from the hurt. Now I feel like I am turning towards the light and a new future. The direction of the change is the same but the motivations are different.

I feel like I am going through a subtle but powerful transformation.

I hope this doesn't sound to hokey.

Thanks for listening.

Your friend,

That's awesome! I think I've said that very thing to you on an earlier post...

Anyway - yes I am feeling some of the same feelings...a return to me, my life, my hobbies, my sports, my favorite foods, and even my pint of stout in the evening. My way of raising my daughters, my money, my choices, my decorating taste.

It's really nice...to find myself again in there...I thought for a while that I was permanently broken.

Well said, by the way!

TG, its funny how you phrased that. I have spent the last several days, at random times, looking at stuff in the apartment and saying, that's my tv, that's my bed, this is my apartment. It was extremely liberating.
