Manon, Good morning to you. Since I read your post the other day, I have been thinking of you often. I cannot say I know the place you are at in your head or in your heart, because I don't. I hope with the help of the people who surround you, you will be able to slow things down and put the pieces in place one by one. Sounds to me like you know what you need to do and you have started to do it. As I am finding in my early readings on this journey called recovery there are many sayings, quotes, etc.. The funny thing is, they keep popping into my head as random thoughts throughtout my day. One of them is "One day at a time". It has become important to me beacuse if I think about what's ahead of me every day for the rest of my life, I think, How the #$%* am I gonna do this? But if I think "One day at a time", it's not so overwhelming and a feel a greater sense of hope. May you have hope in your life today. Peace.
