The Language of Letting Go, November 6
November 6
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Enjoying Life
Do something fun today.
If you're relaxing, let yourself relax, without guilt, without worrying about the work that is undone.
If you're with loved ones, let yourself love them, and let them love you. Let yourself feel close.
Let yourself enjoy your work, for that can be pleasurable too.
If you're doing something fun, let yourself enjoy it.
What would feel good? What would you enjoy? Is there a positive pleasure available? Indulge.
Recovery is not solely about stopping the pain. Recovery is about learning to make ourselves feel better; then it's about making ourselves feel good.
Enjoy your day.
Today, I will do something fun, something I enjoy, and something just for me. I will take responsibility for making myself feel good.

What perfect timing! AH took the day off today because it's my birthday. He keeps making a big deal about spending the whole day with me, doing whatever I want. Which is very nice of him.
But I feel so raw right now, having just recently reached my ENOUGH point with his drinking, that I haven't really been looking forward to it.
But we can have a good time together. I can live in this day only and try to enjoy myself. Having fun today is my responsibility.
Thanks for posting these each day.
