Morning everyone!
24 more for me please. Feeling tired after a long day yesterday but it's so beautiful here today that it is easy to feel positve about the future. I've been reading more RR and I'm feeling really empowered. Starting to recognise the insidious ways my AV works throughout the day. I'm going to nail it this time, I can feel it in my bones!
A big Congratulations to everyone reaching a milestone today!
Lot's of love to you all and thank you for the continuing support

Kenton - I totally get the empath thing. My mum flagged it up to me a few years ago and when I read the traits you could have knocked me over with a feather! Shy and introverted never sat right with me and I knew there had to be something else. I have people in my family that I love but that I find utterly exhausting, on an emotional level and I can only be around them for short periods of time before needing proper rest. I easily absorb others emotions, need plenty time on my own and really stuggle with over stimulas. Sometime I can't handle any noise at all. I hate parties, crowds, concerts and have to look after myself a lot to recover from thing like Christmas and family holidays. Whew...it's exhausting but I've embraced it and I wouldn't want to change now.
Juilet - I hope you are feeling better today and I'm sorry I wasn't around for you yesterday. You have made some incredibly brave decisions that are about what you want and deserve in your future. Self-esteem and self-worth is a difficult thing and I know that it's taken me a long to to recover from an awful relationship I was in for over a decade. I think you are remarkable and I'm so sure you will find the happiness you are looking for. Lots of love to you.
Snufs - Gorgeous picture! You are a pretty one indeed.
Jo - I'm 37 but can you be my SR mum too!!
I still feel like a wee girl inside.
I'm still catching up but I hope you are all well and my prayers to everyone struggling. Back in a bit.....xxxx

For the first time in many years I actually had a warm loving conversation with a real life person. A person who loves me more than I ever really knew. I talked about my alcoholism, you guys, life and just about everything. We shared things and it was wonderful. It was with my ex mother-in-law. She is such a lovely person and I am truly grateful to have her in my life. When I spoke about recent events and how low I've been she just cried and said "I want you to know I'd be there like a shot if you called me. Please call me next time you are struggling".
This is my ex husbands mother!
I was within a whisker of losing my daughters to his family. So close it sickens me to remember those bad days. Yet this person who has no obligation to befriend me at all loves me as if I were her own. The sadness comes as I could no way speak to my own mother like that. No way.
Isn't life a strange old thing sometimes?

I really believe that thing about getting different things from different people in your life. How amazing that your ex's mum can offer you some of that Jo. I'm not surprised she loves you! xxx

Our relapses are heartbreaking but they can also be wonderful learning experiences. xxxx

Summer day camp approaches. Conducting a staff training tomorrow morning. It took me 3 hours to research and write everything down and will probably take me 20 minutes to say it. And I am already dreading the part where all eyes are on me. I feel like if I didn't have so much anxiety, life would be a breeze. I will keep trying to make time for meditation and stretching and be mindful of my food choices. Congrats to you lovely milestoners!
