I have been reading these posts for about a couple months now and I have found them to be so very helpful.

LadyBug, Thanks for stepping forward to say hi and for sharing your story! You never know when your words might be just what a new newbie needs to get them through another day. Congratulations on 4 1/2 months NC - what a huge achievement :)

I loved what you said about "because of the many blessings in your life you had to live right". I also think of ending my A as a way of giving thanks for all that I have in my life. When I look around me, there is so much to be grateful for - I should be experiencing those blessings in their entirety rather than looking for more.

Hugs to you and I hope you'll post more often

I received this thought for the day that I wanted to share as encouragement to accept ourselves, reclaim dignity and to choose love in our lives. Here's to maintaining NC and healing.

I accept myself completely.
I accept my strengths and my weaknesses,
my gifts and my shortcomings,
my good points and my faults.

I accept myself completely as a human being.
I accept that I am here to learn and grow,
and I accept that I am learning and growing.
I accept the personality I've developed, and
I accept my power to heal and change.

I accept myself without condition or reservation.
I accept that the core of my being is goodness
and that my essence is love,
and I accept that I sometimes forget that.

I accept myself completely, and in this acceptance
I find an ever-deepening inner strength.
From this place of strength, I accept my life fully and
I open to the lessons it offers me today.

I accept that within my mind are both fear and love,
and I accept my power to choose which I will experience as real.
I recognize that I experience only the results of my own choices.

I accept the times that I choose fear
as part of my learning and healing process, and
I accept that I have the potential and power
in any moment to choose love instead.

I accept mistakes as a part of growth,
so I am always willing to forgive myself and
give myself another chance.

I accept that my life is the expression of my thought,
and I commit myself to aligning my thoughts
more and more each day with the Thought of Love.
I accept that I am an expression of this Love.
Love's hands and voice and heart on earth.

I accept my own life as a blessing and a gift.
My heart is open to receive, and I am deeply grateful.
May I always share the gifts that I receive
fully, freely, and with joy.
