What Is Recovery?

Oct 20, 2009 - 5 comments

                                                                 Rebuilding Our lives,
                                                                 Restoring Ourselves,
                                                                 Picking up the pieces,
                                                                 Healing from past wounds,
                                                                 Regaining Our Hope,
                                                                 Obtaining Self Respect,
                                                                 Mending broken Spirits,
                                                                 Making Amends for the Spirits we've broken,
                                                                 Reclaiming Our Right To Be,
                                                                 Releasing what doesn't belong to us,
                                                                 Raising Up What Does Without fear,
                                                                 Repossessing Our Minds and Out Hearts,
                                                                 Repairing broken thoughts and faulty behaviors,
                                                                 Replacing them with Positive Thoughts and Acts of Love,
                                                                 Renewing Our Faith in GOD, Our Minds, and Our Bodies,
                                                                 Reviving Life Within and Around Us.
                                                                 Realizing that there is Good Within Us,
                                                                 Growing in Our Ability to Feel and Express that Good,
                                                                 Renovating Our broken dreams and broken hearts,
                                                                 Increasing Our Ability To Own Our GOD Given Light....
                                                                 Reaching Out To Lovingly Share That Love And Light With Others.

This is awesome Jimi.  A couple of months ago I'd have read this (if I'd have made it to the end) and thought to myself "yeah right" but now I read it and am excited about my recovery and all the things that go along with being healthy, happy, up, down, cranky, anxious, tired, etc. etc. (LOL) and being somewhat productive again. A lot of times it's still minute by minute and/or day by day and it's a hard road to go UP but so rewarding at the same time, finally....

That is the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard. 14 days no vic. I'm sleeping a lot but feel pretty good.

Thanks so much Jimi. I haven't been on here for a bit...life has been so crazy. I take a peek first thing this morning and this is the awesome thing that reaches right into my soul. Thank you. Do you mind terribly if I repost this to share with my facebook family? It is beautiful. God bless...Lynn
