Walking on the road to recovery ........ 🤔

Walking on the road to recovery ........ 🤔

Hmmm. Where to start? I’m not sure starting with a metaphor that brings mixed emotions is perhaps the best way to title a new thread, but just now it feels apt.

@NikNik has put up her picture of recovery up in the past. At first I hated it because I wanted that nice straight linear line (expectations) ......the one where the magic wand comes included 😯😝

So now that I’m finally accepting the reality that the road to recovery doesn’t exist on google maps (and there isnt a magic wand), I'm left with having to make it up as I go along.........and if there was one there wouldn’t be a measurement of how long the road was 😏

Please feel free to join in and tell your stories too of the good, the bad and the ugly of recovery.

😊💜

Okay ..... starting fresh today and not linking it to yesterday @Teej ...... skip the shower and go for a wash of critical bits instead ...... feed yourself something to steady emotions and fuel better thinking outcomes ..... and hydrate (with water).

Then get yourself into the bus without thinking beyond the bus ...... you’re doing all this to get one the bus ......

Hugs ❣️

@Teej I feel for you. You've got this.

I wanted to tell you I think your posts have been brilliant and I'm so sorry the result of your kindness in reaching out to help another has brought this outcome. I'm right there with you.

Thanks @Former-Member, that’s lovely of you to care. I’m ok with the outcome, All we can do is share our experiences and hope that someone finds something positive or helpful from sharing. I chose to put myself in the arena and have dusted myself off (miracles do happen). There’s one for @Faith-and-Hope 😉 (a Brenè Brown fave). I’ll share a secret though. In the past I might have struggled immensely with it all, step by step and with support from mods and forum family I’m slowly getting better at not being swallowed hole like I might have done in the past. I hope you are doing ok today. I’m sitting in my car after just finishing one of my groups and about to do some shopping but wanted to thank you for being brave and caring and writing that too.
Hi and thanks to @Shaz51 and @Bunniekins too for sharing their love 👋 💜🤗
