Fear is not from God!! A great verse to memorize and practice is 2 Timothy 1:7. It has helped me a lot!

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!

A lot of wisdom there. My therapist said when I go to a place of fear I lose my power.

That I am a really nice, funny and good person. I am a great mother. My self confidence is higher than it has eevr been, and I discovered it on my own. Family will always be there. I am very strong and have allows followed my dreams. I have learned empathy (not for my addict). I want to give more. I want to do what is right. I want to be a role model for my son, aNd take pride in this. That life can change quickly. There is no good drug (weed). And I have learned what I want from a partner now.
That I can get thru this.

whopse...it is hard to choose only 1.

i still have a long, long way to go and so much to learn, but i can choose to see this as an opportunity for renewal rather than beat the crap out of myself for it.

that loving also means to let go.

you give the person you love the chance to make their own choices, be it good or bad, whether it includes you or not. c",)

That I don't miss the chaos of the person I let go.
And that my guilt I feel for letting go is really my fear of moving forward. And my fear of them. Which further shows me letting go is right.

I am better off alone but strong and happy than taking care and worrying about someone but getting weaker and weaker.

Small simple things can be the biggest. I am so amazed by how much strength I find in the fact that I now wake up rather than coming to and I fall asleep rather than passing out. Both bring me such pleasure and would not be possible were I drinking.
