Wendy,I just started trying to get caught up on posts since I got back from my trip. Just read yours about the past and your family, regrets and then read that your boss gave you a car.Awesome!
All we have is today,and believe me people don't give people things when they are in active addiction,truly good things hardly ever happen. Your boss sees the recovering Wendy, the hard working Wendy, the responsible Wendy, the family will come to know that Wendy too. The only way they will get to know her is one day at a time,and if you reach out to them.
The promises do come true! And your sisters visit was a gift also,so many good things in our lifes to be grateful for. It is so humbling for me to receive as I like to be the one giving, so God is teaching me to receive. You deserve the best, and you work hard for it, so enjoy the good and keep working those steps...it just gets better. Even in the worst of times ,life is better sober.
has it been 6 days since you left already??? wow, time flies...
glad to see you back!
so i;ll live on gratitude today!
i do get caught up in thinking more about what i don't have, what i haven't done, who isn';t around blah, blah, blah.....but ya, gratitude for being able to open my eyes this morning, no hang over, no regrets for anything i did yesterday, all my parts are in good working order...
today i'm free and plan on staying that way
sometimes i get a knot in my tummy when i say i'm planning on staying clean and sober today, takes me back to all those times i only planned on having one....then trying to make up for being a fool and saying 'well, i didn't plan it that way...., honest!'
so what will be will be, and as long as i stay on the path really, i have nothing to fear. Things are coming together and i do have faith
No Wendy, I wasn't suppose to be gone for 6 days, just the week-end. In my post about the trip I stated I would be on the road for 6 hours.It would have been wonderful to be gone for 6 days, but I will take what I got and be very grateful for that time.
