But once I decided to use, in most cases I would. I certainly did allow anyone the opportunity to<BR/>give an opinion. <BR/><BR/>None of your readers, friends, or love ones can change the decision for you if that is what you have decided to do. <BR/><BR/>If I choose to drink or use again, than I need to be ready for any consequences that will come from this. I only say this because that is my experience in Recovery as well as when I have been "Out of Recovery". <BR/><BR/>I love you and be good to yourself.<BR/> HAPPY BIRTHDAYbreedlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833696640020711807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811987797106653811.post-73412067495414079602007-11-12T15:30:00.000-08:002007-11-12T15:30:00.000-08:00That is an absolute truth...what we resist persist...That is an absolute truth...what we resist persists.

I haven't really learned to do that yet, so I admire those who have (like you).

But you are right, I've been through enough of them too that I already know they aren't going to kill me - good to remember.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01307762555108511788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811987797106653811.post-35134706382538590172007-11-12T02:36:00.000-08:002007-11-12T02:36:00.000-08:00Wow, you dealt so well with these emotions.

I will tell you again, your presence offered through this blog is a great blessing to me. I have been checking in all day hoping to find your sacred Sunday post. Good work weeping then feeling for the next better feeling. And connecting. I did that too today, and yesterday, reaching out to my people.Grandmama Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591805804117973193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811987797106653811.post-88919973801362457252007-11-11T17:53:00.000-08:002007-11-11T17:53:00.000-08:00This is so brave.I am slowly, ever so slowly learn...This is so brave.<BR/>I am slowly, ever so slowly learning what you have spoken of here. To let myself move into the feelings, even when sad or hard or painful. To feel them fully, to trust the process. To let them be and then work their way through and come out the other side.<BR/>Because, yes, when I run away or push back or down or out, they do persist. And even more, they fester.<BR/>So, I hear you and I think this is sacred work, a sacred life.bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165771647378109845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811987797106653811.post-39813443478579872722007-11-11T17:03:00.000-08:002007-11-11T17:03:00.000-08:00You honored your feelings instead of running away ...You honored your feelings instead of running away from them.
