The slogan "Hesitate and Meditate" works for me when I can remember to use it! Stopping to think before I speak, take action, helps me from taking one foot out and putting the other one in my mouth.

Sometimes you just have to detach from them. Other times, you are fortunate enough to be reunited with them. At different times in my recovery, the only kin I had in my life were the people in the rooms.

In recovery, I have tried to mold my life into a healthier life style. I never did fit into a mold, broke them all the time. In today, I can crack them, but most times they are repairable and much more amiable.

I have learned that NO is a complete sentence. I used to think I had to explain WHY i was telling somebody NO. Today if I have enough to do and somebody asks me to pile something else on my plate I can jsut say NO. LIN
