Alwayst2, This is EXACTLY how I need to start my Monday. Looking at this list you put down solidified everything in my mind. Mondays are usually the days that xAP and I would spend together, and I haven't spent one with that clown in so long I am not even counting anymore. More space away means more time for me...for healing. That is what I am working on!! And I am just so happy that your post was the first thing I read this morning! How encouraging! Hearts <3

Hi alwayst2,

To keep committed my goal is to know myself better, to understand my addictions and have the resources to go forward and live a healthier way emotionally and physically. I am keeping my mind open to new ways of receiving support and to also give support. I want to be able to see the whole picture without blinders on! Your post is an excellant way to start the morning, and your reasons helped me as well:)

Have a nice day!

Great thread.

I'm with you on all that you've listed, and here are some of my own personal reasons:

1) To demonstrate to myself that I am capable, willing and able to take care of myself, to find healthy ways to get my needs met and I will learn along the way

Oh yes!

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. I started looking inside and went NC October 15, 2010

Wanting to be "known".

I had a therapist once tell me that love is to "know and be known". It's impossible to have love when you are hidden away.
