BEFORE YOU KNOW IT -- IT WILL BE GONE AND YOU WON'T KNOW WHERE IT WENT!
So many times, we think we will quit when we have obtained what we want or some other excuse, especially the only about not wanting to quit while we are still having a good time.
The price gets higher. It takes more drug and alcohol to get that normal high we use to get when we first start out. Things stopped working and we had to look for other things. Through it all we lost ourselves.
We think of all we had and wonder where it went.
When is enough going to be enough?
This is a quote from a post made in 2009.
In this world everything changes except good deeds and bad deeds; these follow you as the shadows follow the body.
--Ruth Benedict
It reminded me of geographical cures. Where ever I go, I take me with me.

It is so important to stay in today. Sometimes it is in the moment.
I woke up with a head ache, it disappeared. My feet weren't swollen like they have been for months, then I had two gentlemen friends arrive, one invited, the other the man in my life who dropped by unexpectedly, and then my son showed. I had a friend from his girlfriend early, and all of a sudden the feet are swelling, the body is in pain, and all from stress. The thing I came to realize was, it wasn't my stress and not mine to take on.
It is so important for me to be in the moment, look at where I am at, take owners for my part, and let go of the rest. A lot easier said than done, especially when it concerns those you love.
I received an e-mail earlier today which was about how we use the "blame game" to justify our behaviour, thoughts, etc., but anything from outside of ourselves is but a reflection of our own inner truth.

Do you suffer from chronic pain?
Have you applied the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to your Pain. The 12 Steps are applicable to all areas of our life.
I am powerless over my pain, and yet when I surrender my pain over to the Universe and the God of my understanding, I get the help, the healing, and the good orderly direction I need to live each day, without the use of heavy narcotic.
My life is unmanageable when managed by me. When I put my life into my God's Care, I am shown how to live in today, clean and sober free from the bondage of addiction.
It wasn't the substance that was the issue. It was the thinking, behind the drinking and drugging. It was the trauma and the abuse that cause the pain below the scars that were not allowed to heal, which held all the body memories.
I had to let go of the secrets. I had to quit hiding, bring them out of the darkness into the Light, so that I could become whole, no longer a broken and fragmented body, mind, and spirit.
