Support and other things to get used to

So I have finally admitted that I do need other people. Not only because of my dependency issues, but also because of my co-dependency issues. I'm making use of the support I get and I'm not feeling guilty anymore when I have to ask for help. I have set healthy boundaries and I do not shy away from telling others when they are crossing over them.

I'm getting used to being able to decide to have a good day. That I have some say in the happiness matter. I'm exercising, getting enough sleep, practicing my hobbies and have found some calm and balance.

Balance - now that is a strange thing to achieve (oh and by the way it's possible though fleeting - imagine that). Then off course I woke up this morning and I felt like drinking. I didn't even drink in the mornings on my worst days! Anyway, the day just sort of went downhill from there. So I've decided to take a leap - to the other side of the scale...no way this scale is tipping to the bad side. I've finally got it going on.

I sure can get use to being happy just because I am. Not because someone did something, or I got something or something happened. I just am, because I want to be. It's addictive :-)

So thanks all the people out there on www.intherooms.com and www.dailystrength.org. I felt very lonely, but your support got me through it. ((((Burning Desire = OFF))))
