Good morning
Here ready to start a new week
Grateful to be sober
Spend time with my grandkids yesterday at the park on a sunny day
24 more for this alcoholic soul
Timing
If we could untangle the mysteries of life and unravel the energies which run through the world; if we could evaluate correctly the significance of passing events; if we could measure the struggles, dilemmas, and aspirations of mankind, we could find that nothing is born out of time. Everything comes at its appointed moment.
—Joseph R. Sizoo
Timing can be frustrating. We can wait and wait for something to happen, and it seems to be forever until it comes to pass. Or, suddenly, an event or circumstance is thrust upon us, catching us by surprise. Believing that things happen too slowly or too quickly is an illusion. Timing is perfect.
Today, I will trust and work with Divine Order. I will accept the timing in my life today and in my past as being perfect.

What a week this has been- I knew Reiki would change my life but I didn't realize the ways. Here are the changes I have made so far, since my attunement/first class on Tuesday- changes that have come about naturally without my effort.
1) I deleted FB from my phone.
2) I stopped watching my trashy reality BRAVO TV.
3) I am coming to terms with the possibility that my marriage is over and for the first time this feels "okay" and not devastating. Like it's just a fact of life, and that there is nothing wrong with it. I'm not ready to talk to him about it as I wonder if these feelings are valid or not. I will give it 6 more months of spiritual development to see where this takes me. For now my focus is to be kind and respectful of him, despite my lack of romantic feelings.
4) I took a bite of a piece of pizza, intending to start a carb binge and said out loud, "I don't want to do this anymore." I then put it back in the fridge. I have stopped a binge maybe 1 time in my last 14 years of this addiction. It felt good, I felt strong and capable and I can only pray that this repeats itself. I don't want to be that person anymore.
I want to start journaling my changes as they occur, so one day I can remember where I started from. I know this is not going to be an easy road ahead but I do believe it's my path and that I am about to truly discover who it is that I really am.
Love to all, Happy Sunday...

You are working so hard on yourself and making some really positive changes. Blossoming before our very eyes!
I don't really have the right to advise as such, being that I'm beside you on this journey as opposed to being a leader in any way sweetheart.
What I am however is that single mum of 2 girls. I made a decision (albeit before I became sober) to leave my marriage. The consequences of that aren't relevant here ( my subsequent partner died as you know - we won't go there - memory box closed for now) but what I do live with every day is the life that has resulted for my girls. Regrets are futile and I do believe that the marriage had been over for a long time but the guilt of the current situation, divorced parents, shared childcare and how it affects their future will linger over me forever.
When I got sober and began this journey I had met someone else. A nice guy who lives with us. My entire being went into fighting for my sobriety. In many ways it still does. Of course we are hard-wired to love our babies with a passion which never flickers, not for a moment. But our husbands / partners? I had accepted that he was a nice person but that the relationship wouldn't last. I would look at him and feel nothing. Okay not nothing. Friendship and respect and gratitude for his support but not love. The love is slowly returning now. We are growing together in a different way. He is my best friend and yes I do love him.
What am I trying to say?
You are going through a lot of change. That change is consuming you to some extent. That change is utterly necessary for you to find that blessed peace and happiness you so crave. I am utterly in awe of your commitment to bettering yourself.
Any decision about your marriage Sunflower is so huge. I suppose I just want you to be careful and take a lot of time. Because once things are said sometimes momentum takes over and they can't be taken back. As with most things on our journey time is your friend.
We love you lots Sunflower
